Eating live octopus - gross or macho?


Spoon worms or gaebul are served raw.

Curiosity was what drove me to Crazy Fish after a friend told me about this unusual Korean restaurant specialising in live seafood. And rather exotic seafood too. Yes, I knew about the wriggly octopus tentacles so I can’t say I haven’t been warned. Go on, call me a thrill seeker. Yet, I was not prepared for what was to come.

As Crazy Fish owner Anne Kim Sung Yun fished the octopus from the tank, the very much alive critter glided down her hand and used its suckers to grip tightly onto her palm.
