Description
In Hawaii, and particularly here on the island of Moloka'i, hunting for and eating octopus is very common, and has been since the ancient Hawaiians were here. The Hawaiian word of octopus is "he'e", but they are usually called "squid" locally. He'e can be caught by hand, speared, or tricked out of their holes with a special lure made with a large cowry shell.
I bought 5 of these octopus from a local fisherman to make into kimchi poke, a spicy salad with thinly sliced octopus, marinated in a kimchi base sauce. The water turns this color and so do the octopus after 5 minutes of cooking. Soooo Ono!

Not only does this make my mouth water, it is such a fantastic image James. Even though it is an epicurean image, it gives me the feeling of the Kraken emerging from a steaming sea. Aloha

Wonderful capture of the octopus as they are prepared. I usually make Pulpo a la Gallega or grilled, but would love to try your style. LF

Aloha Mary, I love octopus, Moloka'i has lots of it in its shallow waters. Thanks for your comment.
