When my brother got home from La Union a few months ago, he brought some frozen octopus and squids. The squids were eaten on that day, too, but the octopus were reserved for future dishes, and the next day, brother tried to come up with a spaghetti sauce using the chopped up octopus.
I am not really much into seafood pasta, but I was very surprised that this one didn't taste fishy or something like that. Brother said he cooked it in just mushroom sauce, and although the octopus was a bit rubbery (it was pre-cooked and frozen before brother brought it home), but I still liked the way it tasted, especially with the cayenne pepper sprinkled on top.
My brother cooked this dish, but I was the one who plated and shot this picture. I love my to put cheddar cheese on my pasta and I love it really spicy!

I love Octopus. Here in Crete they hang them on a washing line before they cook them.

am a veggie.. but this certainly looks appetizing!
great O word , but honestly not too appetizing to this vegan
Sorry but this would not be on my list of favorites. I guess its all in what a person is used to eating. Great photo of it though.
Not for this veggie, but My partner would love this.
Don't think I'm brave enough to try that.
"O" Dear! Not quite 'me'!!!!
Look on my blog and find a MUCH more appealing octopus!
A creative dish by your brother; and photo by you. I have eaten squid, but not so sure about octopus.

Octopus is one of my favorite seafoods when it is available. I would never have thought of combining it with pasta, but that platter looks really delicious.
It's a lovely photo but I can't face etaing octopus!
