People are so ignorant. Gastropods and crustaceans DON'T have central nervous systems. Instead, they have nerve ganglia throughout the body, and process information in all those ganglia. So when you sever and octopus' arm, you essentially create another being (probably not a conscious one, but still, it's alive. When you cut a lobster in half, you essentially split it's personality in half as well. Lobster's head only have digestive organs, as THEY HAVE NO BRAIN. So when a lobster is cut in half and moving, it's doing so because it's feeling pain and trying to survive. It dies not from being stabbed in the head, but because of loss of blood (which looks either transparent or blue. The best way to kill a lobster (or an octopus, or a crab, or a squid) is to dump it in boiling water, which does indeed kill the animal in very few seconds. If you want to keep the meat raw, just remove it from the pot into a ice-water bath as soon as it stops moving.

I like seafood as much as the next person, but if you are gonna kill me please cut my head off first and not start with my toes. Respecting the seafood starts with respecting its life and pain sensations. Before anyone starts, I understand the legs are wiggling from nerves spontaneously firing on their own, not from impulses from the brain. However the head left behind is is still alive, at least for a while, and receiving pain impulses.

I eat meat and I felt uncomfortable about this. The octopus, yeah I can kind of understand the presentation of that. But the lobster. I remember watching a couple of Gordan Ramsay videos and he showed how to kill a lobster with as little pain to the animal as possible. Just cutting the tail off and putting it all in the broth is cruel and unnecessary

Tell me again how you respected it by eating it alive? I don't mind, you guys do you, but don't call it what it isn't is. edit: people saying it's not really alive. I have been to korea and been on boats where people chew and swallow whole living mini octopus/squid. Straight from the water, dipped in soy sauce, into their mouths.

Eating a creature in the throes of suffering = barbarity! C'mon people, this has nothing to do with culture. If you're going to eat meat, then the animal should be killed humanely, causing as little suffering as possible before consuming. Everything else is brutal savagery which has no place in civilized society. Disgusting!

looks disgusting and probably is disgusting. having a mouth full of ocean water does not describe a good flavor or an eating experience. personally i also don't think that taking apart and eating an animal while it's still alive is being respectful to it. this is nothing more than a dare challenge or survival food.

That lobster is not dead before being put in the hot pot. Cutting the tail off does not kill it right away. This is a very slow, torturous way to kill an animal when they can just stab it in the brain and get it over with instantly. These sort of sadistic traditions should be a thing of the past.

At first, I thought they were going to eat whole, live octopi wrapped around chopsticks. I've never seen octopus chopped up and eaten this way. I love the way the chef cut up the seafood, then placed it back inside the shell.

the restraunt should have chopped the octapus a bit more in small morsels i mean that long tentacle or the octapus leg can be a bit dangerous if you eat a live one thats too long chances are you may choke on it. ;;; ;;

Yammy! Normally Korean people eat raw small octopus (nagkgee) with seasoned sasemai oil to avoid stick together. And to make saltiness. I would say This is kind of same thing some people enjoy very rare bloody steak.
