Captain's Log, Stardate 05.26.2009
I grew up eating octopus, also called tako in Japanese, so for any of you grossed out by that, you have to realize that it doesn’t seem strange to me since I’ve eaten it all my life.
We know lots of people who go spear fishing, and we’d often get fresh tako to eat. We don’t eat it raw, it’s always boiled.
Here's grandma cutting the tako into bite sized pieces.
This is a piece of the tako before cutting. I'm not sure what part of the body it is.
Here you can kind of see the tentacles.
Captain Caffeine obligingly took this photo so you can see the suckers.
And here he is eating it. Yum! It's a little chewy but usually pretty soft. It doesn't taste fishy like, well, fish, but tastes a bit like abalone. It also doesn't have that metallic flavor of clams or oysters. The Captain and I both love it.
