Thanks for stopping by. It really is very cool when you cook something new that you've never cooked before. Go for it! In the article for this post, I wrote about Fresh Direct, a NYC delivery service for groceries. If you don't live in NYC, I would recommend going to your ethnic grocer... a place that would sell to the Japanese, Korean, Italian, Spanish or Latino market. Worse comes to worse, see if you can order it frozen from an online grocer. It actually is better to buy frozen b/c freezing the octopus tenderizes it. Good luck and let us know if you have any luck! - amy Hey, Luke! Thanks for stopping by. It really is very cool when you cook something new that you’ve never cooked before. Go for it!

It just looks so cool. Where did you find your frozen octopus? Was it in an ethnic grocery or just a normal one like Safeway? Oh man, I really got to try cooking a whole octopus!

I think you're my long-lost friend. You sound like you've had quite a life so far and I would put some money down that you'd write a hell of a book! Please stop by again, we could use more of your great comments. PeterM: TOTALLY try some octopus! I think it scares people to consider cooking, but to me, grilled octopus is one of the tastiest treats ever. But you're right on with how the Japanese do them. But the Spanish, whoa... they do it best in my books. Thanks so much for stopping by - please come back again. Let us know if you ever cook that octopus! marc - thanks for visiting an old post of ours. this was a tasty dish and if i inspired anyone to give octopus a try... i feel good. have a great weekend all!

I used to catch them, fishing in the wintertime in the Gulf of Mexico, but I always threw them back. I've loved them in Spain, Mexico, and Costa Rica, but I like what the Japanese do to them in sushi/sashimi. Tasty post! Man, I’ve been wanting to try cooking octopus.

My mother Aida, and my worthless father immigrated here about 50 years ago. Mom is dead now because she had to work in a sweat shop factory in Brooklyn to support me and my brother after my "father" ran off with a 19-year old floozie. Even though I am a PROFESSIONAL CHEF educated at Peter Kump's Culinary Institute, a SENIOR ADVISER to SeriouEats website, a BOOK REVIEWER for Amazon.com, and the former wife of a New York City dentist named "Chuck" (he was my fourth husband . . . before he sent me an email requesting a divorce), I just never really liked octopus. But your recipe for Livornese Fish Stew (il cacciucco alla livornese) sounds SOOoo delicious, I am going to prepare it for my boyfriend "Big Bear" and his buddies down at the shop.

Cooking an entire octopus at home?!?!? Pretty gutsy :) I have a hard time eating anything with tentacles, but this does look pretty amazing. I traveled to Tuscany two years ago and I cannot wait to go back. My favorite meal I had in Italy was in Capri, it was a gnocchi dish in a tomato sauce with zucchini and shrimp. The best part was probably the view. *Sigh* Wow. Cooking an entire octopus at home?!?!? Pretty gutsy :) I have a hard time eating anything with tentacles, but this does look pretty amazing.
