Is this live or the effect of an acid on its muscles?

That’s gonna be a no for me dawg

Yeah, live nakji like this is mostly for show and novelty. Other than that, it ain’t really worth it.

This is horrific.

Those taste very bland, people eat them for texture + sesame oil or Cho-gochujang flavor(Korean vinegar pepper paste).

They are sentient.

This was surprisingly good when I had it! It’s crunchy, and the sesame oil adds a nutty flavor. Seeing the smallest little tentacle grasp and move around made me think about what we eat and what is considered culturally ok to eat.

Not live. The octopus is dead. Sodium ions are opening the cells and causing them to fire.

But why.

Octopuses are sacred. I’d never eat one.

That’s fucked up.

I tried this once for my birthday about ten years ago. Was not a fan. Almost no flavor, just felt like chewing on a piece of rubber hose that wriggled and might grab on to your esophagus and choke you to death on the way down. Some friends opted not to join because it seemed needlessly cruel, and I don’t really blame them now.
Later another friend was shooting some stuff for a crappy cable channel in Korea and they served ACTUAL whole live octopus on a grill. It kept trying to escape. They chopped a limb off and put it on the grill and the HEAD, despite no longer being attached, freaked out and started writing in pain. My friend started sobbing uncontrollably and had to leave the restaurant.
I will no longer eat live octopus. I feel too bad.

San-nakji. Potentially dangerous food as you can choke on the tentacles. Can’t eat octopi after I learned that they’re pretty bright creatures.

Rather too cruel for my taste. At least give a quick death…

There’s no way this tastes good.

I’ve had it. Incredibly bland. By the way, it’s dead. Moving, but dead.

its dead

People are so easily manipulated.
It’s not alive, it’s not any more cruel than any other sushi, etc. I’d make you a meme so you’d understand, but I just don’t have the energy.
I’m going to sleep now and won’t be moving, but it’s okay, I’m not dead.

I eat octopus but I’ve never had it live, I’m a bit apprehensive to try it since I’ve heard some people have choked on it before? I’m all for trying food but this one has me a bit worried. How was it though?
