Freestyled this dish and it turned out excellent. Roomates confirmed it.
Used live octopus, live white clams and fresh head-on shrimp. Vokda sauce mixed with fish sauce, sugar, shrimp fat, basil and garlic.

That looks like a good seafood dish but from the title I thought you were going to eat the octopus live. In Korea they call the live octopus Sannakji.

I believe I'll leave my octopus preparation and cooking to a restaurant chef!

I actually ate one of the tenticles while it was moving, but my roomate didnt want to snap a pic. Was very good.

Just besure to chew it before you swallow. People do die with them stuck in there throat.

I had them last year in Busan Korea.

Now did you really use the sword to cut it up or what that just for the photo op? Either way, it is a cool shot!

And I have to say, the dish sounds delicious.

Just thought itll be funny but I did cut the head off with the sword. Used a fillet knife to cut the rest.

looks good Nightcooker!!!

little tip, but it involves a hammer...

beat it (GENTLY) with a hammer before cooking, the meat will turn out much more tender...

It's not just Japanese, a lot of Asian cultures eat live octopus. They are quite good, but dangerous due to the little suckers holding on while going down A test of manhood in some cultures.

I don't know if I would test my boyfriend to see how much of a man he is by asking him to eat live octopus. Hehe! Even though we tried all kind of crazy food when we went to Bangkok last summer.
