The soy sauce is activating the sodium channels causing them to twitch. It is basically re-creating the chemical reaction that occurs when the living octopus actually moves.

I've had octopus done here in Korea that is still squirming when you get the plate. I don't know that it's really alive at that point, but it still fights in your mouth. And yes, I have had it more than once.

Fuck everything about that.

I should probably not tell you the story about the live shrimp.

Did you actually enjoy it as a meal? Or was it kind of a novelty?

[–]geekboysf 1 point2 points ago

It's not really a main dish, but I do like it. A very mild taste with a hint of ocean. I have had it about 6 times now, so I think it passed novelty stage. Usually if I don't like something I stop after one.

So long as by the time it reached my stomach it stops, I would probably be okay with that.

You have to chew it into submission. Don't want the suckers working when it gets to your throat. That is the most serious point.

Reminds me of that scene from Oldboy... ah here it is delicious!

I remember reading somewhere that stunt was actually extremely dangerous. Something about that thing easily being able to lodge itself in his throat suffocating him. Of course it didn't though.

[–]geekboysf 0 points1 point ago

Apparently some people in Korea do eat whole live octopus. It is very dangerous. I doubt I will ever get to that level. I will stick to this method (*not me in the video).

That isn't sushi. It's a common misconception that sushi is raw fish. Raw meats and fish is called sashimi.

WTF? Tell me it's really not alive

[–]oni-san 4 points5 points ago

Ok. It's not really alive.

[–]CaliLove310 1 point2 points ago

Whoo, thank you. I needed to hear that.

[–]oni-san 1 point2 points ago

Good to hear that you're okay now :)

[–]watson-c 1 point2 points ago

Actually it IS alive...

You think it's better if it's dead?

[–]CaliLove310 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sure do if they plan on eating it next.

Life and death are not binary. It's Dead Alive.

It's bad enough when they leave the heads and eyes on so it gets to watch you eat it....

Now the freakin' thing is waving goodbye to me??

I'm starting to understand vegetarians.....

I'd try it given the chance.

My only concern is that the (long-dead/not-even-a-zombie-virus-will-make-this-fucker-move) octopus I have had has been extremely flavorless and chewy. Not a favorite of mine.

Not gonna lie, that looks pretty tasty.

I have a friend who lost his shit over this claiming that the Octopus is not fully dead and is in fact just lobotomized. I don't really know personally.

This isn't sushi. :\

int's not actually alive, but the heat of whatever is being poured over it causes the muscle and connective tissue to contract..

It's the salt, actually.

dude, i'm not big on peta and I eat pretty much everything but octopus is the only thing I don't eat because I feel bad. They're amazingly smart.

Oh... so you don't want to share this dolphin with me?

[–]deadendcruiser 0 points1 point ago

Oh no I eat dolphins, fucking rapists of the sea.

Okay good. But in all seriousness, I would devour that tiny dancing octopus.
