In reply to Charles McCool. Hi Charles! Believe it or not, the octopus is not live. From what I understand, the tentacles are very sensitive and they take a long time to stop moving.

Wow, that’s a brave culinary experience! I thought that we were pretty daring, but I’m not sure we could go there.

I do not think I have tried live octopus. Maybe raw. Anyway, you are so brave!

In reply to Marcia. Hi Marci. Yes, it is still moving. Although the octopus is dead, the tentacles are very sensitive and continue to move for quite a long time. :)

In reply to Ruth - Tanama Tales. Hi Ruth. The Nakji Bokkeum is delicious, and I would eat it again. I've also eaten it just grilled over coals, and that is nice, too.

In reply to Lydia C. Lee. Hi Lydia. I know what you mean. Seeing something live and knowing it might end up being your dinner can be a little strange!
