Octopus used for raw food is generally fine-clawed octopus, which is different from ordinary marine octopus. Eating octopus raw is very common in Korea. Although a few people die every year because of eating octopus raw (not biting octopus, causing suffocation by inhaling it on the trachea), this does not detract from Koreans' love for eating octopus raw. Gangwon, South Korea eats octopus raw, which is chopped. When eating octopus, its tentacles will still move and even suck on its mouth.
Koreans call octopus octopus, which is an indispensable food on the Korean table. Although there are many ways to make octopus, Koreans love the simplest and most primitive method: eating it raw.
Extended data:
One way to eat octopus dishes is to remove the octopus head, straighten its claws, then roll it up with chopsticks, dip it in hot sauce and send it directly to the mouth. Look at the adsorption capacity of octopus. Korean friends warned that eating live octopus can't be swallowed, so you should chew it slowly, otherwise the octopus will be in trouble if it holds its throat. When I tried to put a piece in my mouth, the octopus sucker immediately adsorbed on my mouth and felt alive, like fighting with my mouth.
Koreans like this heroic way of eating. After wiping, the octopus finally fainted. Dip the fainted octopus in Chili sauce with chopsticks. Because of the spicy stimulation, the octopus "moved" like waking up. Korean friends said that in fact, it is not for the business to play gimmicks, but for the good entrance.
In fact, the method of making this faint octopus is very simple. First, cut off the octopus's head, put the remaining claws in the vegetable basket, and rub them in one direction by hand to wash off the sediment on the octopus. At the same time, octopus meat will be softer. Korean friends half-jokingly said that rubbing octopus has another purpose, that is, to make the octopus faint, dip it in Chili sauce for a while and the octopus will wake up.
In addition to eating octopus raw, there are also raw yellow croaker. The fish was cut into barbed strips. When eating, mix with Chili sauce and pickled crab soup to make dipping sauce. Sashimi dipped in garlic slices and pickles wrapped in cotyledons. Raw yellow croaker tastes sweet and oily.
