I don't know the right way to prepare octopus, but I knew that it was tough, so when I randomly got a whole one one that the fish department at the grocery store happened to have, I threw it into the slow cooker.
I really liked it. Very tender. Perhaps my biggest "let's just try this and see what happens" success in food preparation.
Since then, I found a Japanese grocery store that regularly carries octopus (not whole, just chunks of large tentacle). It's not all that cheap, but I do occasionally go down, grab some tentacle chunks and slow-cook them. I really like octopus in at least that form.

This looks like one of those plates you see in a sci fi TV show when humans have to eat on board an alien ship.
Octopus is a seafood stable in many parts of the world.
Yup, and in some places they eat it while it's still alive. Which doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
I don't see any sidebar rules that say you can only post pictures of "the right food".
Uhu. You're the only one here talking about sidebar rules though
That's not what this is.
Somewhere in the universe there's somebody eating just about anything, I'm sure.
Poor octopus 🥲
This one was ethically sourced. He was kind of a dick and was caught punching small fish purely out of spite.
ah yes the eldritch special :3
I wanna try. Squid's pretty good, I bet this is too

OP is a little classier than I am. :-)
Nonono, I'm scum. And I didn't make this. Slow cooked sounds interesting, this was grilled and still had a bit rubbery feel.
That looks like an awesome, unique flavor and texture experience
Honestly the best thing I've ever seen on this website.
That crispy purple potato must have been tricky to make.
I didn't read the title and assumed it was bacon until I read your comment.
Looks wild but I'm a slut for lime so I'd try it
