I don’t like the texture of octopus. I thought this would be good, but it was too chewy for me.
Not a fan of octopus, but my partner loved this recipe. The eggplant was a nice touch.
Eggplant’s good but octopus? Ewww, can’t believe anyone likes that! Different strokes, I suppose.
Octopus is definitely not everyone’s thing, but I’m glad your partner enjoyed it! The eggplant sounds yummy!
This dish was amazing! The flavors complemented each other perfectly. Will definitely make again!
I made this without the paprika. It was still ok, but kinda bland.
Where do you buy octopus? Is it was expensive? 🤔
You can find octopus at most seafood markets or some grocery stores. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it if you love seafood! 🐙
