today i went to an oriental market and bought a few large packets of ocopus meat and a whole dead ocotopus. the whole dead octopus was actually an accident, i just asked how much the octopus was in the tank and he killed it for me! he didn't speak very good english so i thought i would be nice and buy it rather than telling him i didn't want it. it didn't cost me much either so thats good.
When i got home i decided to try prepairing it so i cut out all the middle bits pretty nice, (twas messy) and i got all the good meat of it. I blended up some bread in a blender and made bread crumbs and made about 200 Takoyaki balls
it was awesome and i still have the packets.
