>How can you tell if octopus is cooked?
Easiest is to just ask the fish person at the store.
Most octopus at Japanese grocers is already boiled/braised, but your pic definitely doesn’t appear to be.
It’s also pricey; both my local Japanese grocer and Whole Foods has octopus for about $13/lb, and I’m nowhere near an ocean.

It isn’t commonly cooked/eaten at home, so it isn’t commonly found in ‘regular’ grocery stores. But any actual fish market or Asian grocery store will have it.

Simple baby octopus salad > all other salads.

Id always order this at a japanese place but they went out of business when the owner died. Bummer.
