Tastemakers Ep. 14: What it’s like to eat South Korean delicacy Sannakji (live octopus)
- 5 years ago
In a special episode of Tastemakers food writer Susan Wong eats South Korean delicacy Sannakji (live octopus) for the first time!
"Indeed it was an incredibly memorable experience, one that I’m happy to have tried once. I’ve never eaten anything that could wriggle-off my chopsticks before and do not particularly wish to experience that again. The fresh gelatinous pieces of tentacles were slightly chilled and had very little flavor aside from a subtle sweetness of the ocean. Slightly chewy, much like the texture of the skin of a braised chicken, the morsels of Sannakji were underwhelming to the palate but the experience was unique and challenging."
