It is dead. That's just a reaction that the muscles of the squid/octopus have when salt (from the soy/duck sauce) hit it. The same thing happens to fresh, skinned frog legs. Wee wee.

[–]leophir 9 points10 points ago

Same happens with humans.

[–]macchina 2 points3 points ago

Octopus is eaten alive in Korea. Source

OP's gif is a squid.

[–]rumrunners 0 points1 point ago

Yep it is, just if you look at this one, it is already dead.

[–]geebs61 2 points3 points ago

Oui oui

[–]That_internet_guy 3 points4 points ago

I would eat that. That being said, I heard that octopus have 9 brains, one additional in each leg, and I'm unsure of where in the head the main brain is located.

[–]rumrunners 4 points5 points ago

The brains are what make it taste good.

[–]laicnani 2 points3 points ago

I thought they had a donut-shaped brain with a stomach in the middle

[–]CryoGuy 0 points1 point ago

Main brain is located in the octopenis

[–]ryangaston88 0 points1 point ago

You see, it wouldn't surprise me if it were alive. Cooking and eating live fish (and sometimes other creatures) is seen as a delicacy by many in Asia.

[–]rumrunners -1 points0 points ago

Yep, they defiantly do it there a lot! It also tastes pretty good ( I've had it ) but this particular one is dead. I'm 95% sure. Doesn't really matter though!

I would probably starve to death if I ever visited Japan.

[–]Ginnit 6 points7 points ago

Sushi, hand pulled ramen, hot dogs, man you'd never go hungry. So much delicious food.

[–]frankthemute 2 points3 points ago

[–]Ginnit 0 points1 point ago

Ever since I laid eyes upon them I could not crave anything harder. Well, except Kogi BBQ.

[–]nordpol 2 points3 points ago

[–]Hazelbrook 2 points3 points ago

My sister's reaction: I wonder what tha... HOLY FUCK IT'S MOVING!!!

[–]jamart 1 point2 points ago

Um... I'm not gonna lie, that was my reaction as well. And i'm a 22 year old guy

[–]KaydenFox 1 point2 points ago

My favorite! A big bowl of NOPE.
