I tried this because I'm not much for strange seafoods. I don't even like fish all that much. I will likely not make it again. Hated the jalapeno taste. - 10/29/19

This is great, but I did notice that the ingredient list stated that there was only 10 oz of octopus, not the pound noted on the list. I did a quick recalculation and had 8 servings [26 gr protein] and 159 cal.s, with only 519 of sodium! Makes a great dish - 9/1/12

I recommend this recipe to anyone who likes octopus. I did find the serving sizes to be very generous; anyone planning to make this for the first time might consider making it four servings or even five, depending what else you're having. - 1/25/09

Definitely - I come from the household of the one pan meal which means we eat this along with "sides", ie some marinated cucumbers, seaweed salad which are all tossed in the same bowl. Thanks for trying it!
