It had two octopus legs and was soaked in water for a long time so it wasn't salty at all. I prepared soy sauce, soy sauce & wasabi, salt & pepper & sesame oil sauce, and the sesame oil sauce went the best. It had a chewy texture and was delicious. I wish the price would go down a little.
Bloom.Elena
This is my second purchase ^ ^ I'm curious about the country of origin, but it has no smell and is delicious. I've been eating takoyaki more often now.
rubyandcoco
I haven't tried this yet, and it looks like the octopus I've had in the past. I like to eat it sashimi style with soy sauce and wasabi or ponzu sauce. The only downside is that there's a lot of octopus frozen together and I'll have to defrost them together and that's a lot of octopus for just one sitting.

A very large and fresh octopus is used to make octopus carpaccio. Looking forward to the results.
