 OctopusMay 15, 2011
By Robert B Nolan
Was not what I expected. I expected large Octopus not a bag full of baby Octopus. Was not happy. The picture is misleading

Warning, won't pick winnersOct 13, 2010
By R. Lewis
"Swiler Bob"
I bought this so that it could pick winners in football games like the one did in the world cup (of soccer, name was Paul). I named mine Peter (or Mary, not sure how you know if its a boy or a girl octopus) but no luck, just floated upside down in the aquarium. Perhaps mine was a particularly stupid octopus or it doesn't have an opinion or it's pining for the fiords, but no luck on the sports picks.
They really should point out that this is not a sports winner picking sort of octopus but more of a dead decoration sort. I suppose you could take it to a Detroit Red Wings game.

 Octopus snackOct 04, 2010
By L. B. Godin

I'm not rating this because I've had this particular product, but I've had octopus before in a can and it was just the arms and they were very small and skinny. It was in olive oil and it tasted to me like sardines which I like. I didn't know a whole octopi is sold. There's only a picture and no real product description. Wish I had the bucks because I'd buy this and there are directions online how to cook a whole one. You can boil them, you can deep fry pre-cooked octopus, you can saute pre-cooked octopus and you can pickle them. Just look up how to eat 'em. I don't even know if the canned octopus I had was pre-cooked.
I personally adore octopi as a species. They're super smart and they're not the crazed sea monsters horror movies make them out to be. Some are quite shy in the wild while others are just as curious about you. I've seen documentaries where the octopus is having a field day exploring the diver, then swims away. I've seen an angry one and I've seen a scared one. All they do is just change color and I think there's only one octopus that's poisonious but it has blue rings on it as a warning. But of course I wouldn't want to be a hapless crab then it'd be lights out for good.
And to that first reviewer, they're not legs, they're arms and you'd be squishy too if you had no bones. Octopi don't have a single bone in their bodies and they're not mean at all. Wouldn't know about giant squid though because no one has ever found one alive.
I'd eat an octopus any time as long as it's dead. Eating a live one can get caught in your throat and you suffocate. Now that is the stuff of nightmares.

The only reason you should eat octupus is if you are being dared or on Fear Factor. there are some things in this world you can't eat
