Where to buy Octopus?

[yankeefan]

Does anyone know of anywhere in Central/North NJ that sells octopus? I constantly am able to locate good vendors for squid (best quality so far has actually been wegmans) but I have not been able to find any seafood houses/shops that sell octopus.

I would appreciate any information on any recommended places to try. Thank you.

Koreans would blanch/steam the octopus and then dip it into a chili vinegar sauce.. I also like it grilled with a mediterranian style dressing of evoo, lemon, garlic, and your herbs of choice..

According to my Korean friend (I do not eat octopus) it is typically for sale at most good markets catering to Asians. I like the quality and selection at the market attached to Crown Palace on Rt 35 in Middletown, so I would try there.

They do sell it at Crown Palace, I buy baby octopus there. All the way over against the wall, the refrigerated section. They sell a nice bbq'd eel, too, in the freezer chest.

Thank you for the info- I think I will have to make a trip down there tonight if the Edison market doesnt carry.

Thanks again.
