This looks like one of those plates you see in a sci fi TV show when humans have to eat on board an alien ship.

Yup, and in some places they eat it while it’s still alive. Which doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

That’s not what this is.

I don’t know the right way to prepare octopus, but I knew that it was tough, so when I randomly got a whole one one that the fish department at the grocery store happened to have, I threw it into the slow cooker.
I really liked it. Very tender. Perhaps my biggest “let’s just try this and see what happens” success in food preparation.
Since then, I found a Japanese grocery store that regularly carries octopus (not whole, just chunks of large tentacle). It’s not all that cheap, but I do occasionally go down, grab some tentacle chunks and slow-cook them. I really like octopus in at least that form.
OP is a little classier than I am.

Nonono, I’m scum. And I didn’t make this. Slow cooked sounds interesting, this was grilled and still had a bit rubbery feel.

This one was ethically sourced. He was kind of a dick and was caught punching small fish purely out of spite.
