i prefer squid but yea why not

Theyre tasteless, and move while you eat them.

>>13337603
you have to cook them first, Lin.

>>13337603
thats why you chew harder and break their resolve

its entertaining

cant tell the difference between pork assholes and the real ones so i have never tried them. never relax around asians.

>>13337589
I’m more about fried calimari pork anus

>>13337589
Buying small ones like that is sort of a waste. They are too big to cook whole and too small to make chunks out of the tentacles.

>>13337629
They taste the same as pigs rectum after cooked.

>>13337656
pork assholes? what?

>>13337658
they’re not too big to cook whole at all. grill them, braise them, ive even sautéed them and they came out great. maybe you’re just bad at cooking.

>t. psycho

Where can I get and how do I fix octopus tentacles? Asian grocery store?

I bought some frozen cuttlefish from the local Asian shop a while back and they smelled and tasted VERY fishy.
I like fish but I'm really not sure these were actually still good. Is that just what they're like or did I buy off cuttlefishes?

i wouldn’t trust asian grocers when it comes to freshness. if you can’t find fresh raw octo frozen is fine but try to find a mediterranean brand. sometimes higher end grocers like whole foods have them, and if you can find a dedicated fish store they’d either have it or be able to order it for you.

cuttlefish is usually pretty fishy but like i said i don’t trust proteins from asian grocers. little oversight in asia often leads to frozen things not being kept at the right temperature, sometimes thawing then refreezing.

>>13337947
Yeah, that's my worry. I've had some other frozen fishe from there that was fine but you never know if they're maintaining the chill chain with stuff like this.
I only made one small meal of the those cuttlefish and used the rest for bait.

Utterly disgusting OP. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

>>13337640
I like the way you think

>>13337934
Cuttlefish is what they use in sushi restaurants, but call it squid

>>13337589
Have eaten octopus and I feel bad about it. Fuckers are smart.

>>13337589
I cooked a whole octopus once. It was way too strong tasting. It's best in smaller portions in other dishes.

Tried it at a thai place for the first time the other week.

It was basically how I imagined it would be to bite off and chew on labia.

I can't find them near me without going way out of my way to the point that it's not worth it.

Funfact: you have a possibility of 1/8 to eat a octopus penis

if you freeze them before cooking, they'll turn out to be more tender.

If you cut them in half and count the rings, you can see how old they are.

Yep

They’re hard to get around here fresh but I like ordering grilled octopus. But squid do travel around here during the summer so I often go to the pier and catch like 2-3 lbs and make fried calamari.
