Fried Octopus is better than fried shrimp! I love the stuff, don't do squid, too chewey, but Octopus is awesome stuff. Par boil to get the skin off, clean him out and cut the tentacles into 2 inch pieces and deep fry like shrimp, yummmmmeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
|
Why even try.........

Damn...
I only got one Blurple Octopus-Catching 3oz Darter left.
I should have ordered more - I did not expect the late season octopus run.

I am suprised by this... Octopus (pl) are really smart. Smarter than dogs for sure... Never thought they would fall to a darter. Must be a real good plug  |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

When you think about it, Octopi change colors when excited like squid and when a Octopus is darting away from something with it's tentacles all closed up it resembles a darter with the big eye and all. Maybe the little bastard was trying to hump it?  |
Why even try.........

Flaptail... Octopus is not derived from Latin. The correct plural is Octopuses. Did you know they have 3 hearts? |

Oooooooooooo someone go tell Bloocrab that there's a run of octopusses out there  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
