Octopus is one of my favorite seafood.  Seafood is actually very easy to cook.  You just need a few basic ingredients, then you will have a delicious dish.

The star of this recipe is the dipping sauce.  I love to use my sauce almost with all the seafood dishes.  

Garlic Octopus is a perfect appetizer food.  I promise once you make it, you will want to make a second batch.

It’s hard to get fresh octopus at regular grocery stores.  You better luck buying it at Korean markets.
