Wordless Wednesday – Side of Octopus With My Salad with LINKY

After spending a few nights at The Raleigh Hotel in fabulous South Beach in Miami, Florida, I just had to try the Octopus Salad. $10 at lunch and $16 at dinner.

So would you try it?

    Yikes! Being a vegetarian, I’d say no, I probably wouldn’t try it. But I’ll bet it is better than it looks!

    Umm, I’m kind of a foodie but I’m going to have to pull a line from the kids and say, “Can I be full now?”

    Oh my – I think I would try it, though I’m not sure I would enjoy it.

    *Shivers* Oh, you are so much braver than I am! There is absolutely no way I could ever eat something like that. I admire anyone who is willing to try it, though. And the photo itself is really gorgeous. That octopus truly just leaped out at me. Which added to the shivers. LOL

    I love octopus sushi – that looks delicious!

      Stacie says:

      It really was good. I was a little freaked out at first when they put it down in front of me but it tasted great.

  15. 110

    This definitely wouldn’t be my 1st choice but if I can eat calamari, I should be able to eat this too (right?).

    Faythe says:

    was it deep fried or boiled? makes a colorful dish, but I tried it once, yuck, too rubbery!

    Miranda says:

    Wow you are so brave! I’m really into seafood and I’m not good at trying new things. Looks interesting though!

    I’m sorry, but I am not anywhere near that brave! :) But it does look really cool.

    I love the colors, but I don’t think I’d ever bring myself to try it!

    Terra Heck says:

    I’m willing to try a lot of things, but that is NOT one of them. So, what was your opinion? Did you like it?

    Tammy says:

    Umm in a word NO – and I consider myself to be quite adventurous with food but that…just scares me! LOL

  24. 121

    Looks frighting, yet beautiful. I’m a vegetarian, so I wouldn’t eat it, but I remember how tasty octopus could be : )

    Laurie says:

    I don’t think I could even look at my plate, let alone eat it. Something about that as a salad garnish ewww lol

    HilLesha says:

    No way! :)

    shan says:

    No, definitely would NOT try it. I’m scared to even touch shrimp!

    ellen says:

    It is sort of pretty in a freaky artist way. Would I try it? Probably not. I tried that calimarie (sure that spelled wrong) and the octopus seemed way to chewy. Was it tender at all?

    Eileen says:

    I am the WRONG person to ask that. LOL! Our kids are always wanting to try new things but I grew up a meat and potatoes girl. I like trying some new things…very….very…slowly. baby steps. it took me til early 20s to try broccoli! That thing looks way too science fictiony to me! (Im a weenie and would probably stare or faint if something like this was placed in front of me!)

    First of all, that is an absolutely gorgeous photo. Loving the colors and composition. Brave of you to try, yes!

    When I was visiting Greece, we had octopodi (octopus) and ouzo. It was quite common there and actually very good! I went out with a Greek friend in his boat to see how they catch octopus at night. They either bang them on the rocks or turn them inside out. Very disturbing!

    No way…never gonna happen. :-) I am not a seafood person in the first place but there is just no way, lol. It does make a pretty picture though. :-D
