Awful. No. Never considered it, I am not a vegetarian but I wouldn’t consider it. It was so beautiful. The way it curled its tentacles, the swirling colours. Have the picture somewhere. (Again)
Ooh nice. At least you didn’t eat it. When I was in Tanzania, and stayed with the octopus fisher women, they would go at low tide to hunt for them, brutally turn them inside out and place them in a basket 😂
I “caught” an octopus once on the coast of Kenya. Low tide. It was hiding inside a rock. I gently prodded with a stick. It fastened its tentacles around the stick and I was able to take it out, gently put it in the shallow water. It spread its tentacles in a curly fashion to… augment volume I guess. The colours of its skin were changing rapidly in all sorts of terracota hues. Magic.
Then I gently pushed it back to deeper waters and it swam away.
Re-magic. 🙂
