I fully admit, I do NOT like most sushi because I'm new to eating fish and have a severe gag reflex if I perceive something as "fishy". I will (and do) try different sorts over and over int he hopes that I will get over it
Octopus, squid, raw fish, escargot, shellfish, raw oysters ~ ALL GOOD

So soft, tender and chewy, the "buffalo wing of the sea" I'm famous for saying (ask Lisa). Had some today again at another Greek place, same tenderness that is totally lacking at sushi places. |
I lOVE octopus, but you are putting even more people off from it by talking about grilling chunks of the arm
Even though it IS amazing
(BTW, the "Chicken Wings of the Sea" discription was a combined effort
)
