What possible reason is there to boil an octopus alive?
I come from a shellfish village, and we would do our lobsters this way all my life -- we would put them in headfirst which I guess maybe slightly reduces the time they suffer (although -- personally -- when I am doing it, I kill them with a knife to the brain before they go into the water these days)..
But octopus? How horrifying.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoI'm no expert on cooking octopus, I'm saying that the recent hubbub about being humane to octopi gave them the same treatment we currently give pigs, things like a humane slaughter. Your statement seemed to imply we should give pigs the same treatment as octopi. Pigs have always received better treatment, even though they often receive terrible treatment. Octopi are served live in some places still.
