When I was on a little island in Greece they had Octopus hanging across a clothesline outside at a restaurant.
No, I didn’t try it. I thought I might get food poisoning.
Who the h*ll would eat that??? No wonder they went bankrupt. I’ll stick to a jyro with extra yogurt sauce and a side of fries...
Fam took a med cruise this summer.
We get of the tender in Mikonos and there is an old guy repeatedly slamming a catch bag on the cement. I mean for 5-10 minutes.
Then he takes the poor dead octopus out of the bag and beats it with a paddle for another 5-10 minutes.
It was fascinating.
And it led to a new twist on an old saying that my kids coined “you don’t have to beat a dead octopus”
Those octopuses are dangerous.
They have all those testicles that they grab you with.
Here are the octopus hanging in Greece. Went there in 2006.Yum!

Octopus, you twist the hood, it bites you in the process, KEK. No thanks. Probably tastes like chicken, only rubbery.
I especially like baby octopus. I get it at my local Korean supermarket. It tastes great with Korean hot sauce or Mediterranean style, with olive oil and some seasoning.
I tried some Octopus from a street vendor in Rota Spain decades ago. It tasted just like deep fried rubber bands.
Nice! Thanks for posting! A visit to different way of living. The only way to eat fish is fresh.
Now,if you own your house, have a garden, and fish (or have a wife who does!) I imagine you can do pretty well. Need some money for clothes, the tax man, and your wine!
Watching her swim was made me think of Greek Mythology!

I have eaten them as sushi a long time ago, and found it tasteless and rubbery, waste of time.
Got into snorkeling early and kept doing it because the water was so beautiful and clear enough that I would tell folks that you could be on the surface in 20' of water, drop a quarter to the bottom and tell if it was heads or tails.
