Tako

Tako is the Japanese word for octopus, which I can eat, but I have to say I can't really get past the chewy texture. It doesn't really have much taste in my opinion, but I've had some fresh stuff that was better than usual. However, that being said, I prefer tuna belly (toro), but that's just me. This is a seafood stand from the Sanja matsuri from last weekend.

Octopus is best grilled (as is squid) - the way its often done in the Mediteranean. The texture is better too. Done in this way both squid and octopus are amongst my favourite foods.

I can't say that the grilled stuff does much for me either. Unsophisticated palatte I suppose.
