Octopus, when cooked properly, has a luxurious and meaty texture
somewhat akin to scallop, but with slightly more chew. The flavor
is unique, but mild, and hard to describe, like, "What does a
mussel, oyster or clam taste like?" but otherwise reminiscent of
"the sea". For comparison's sake, the best you can sum it up with
is that it does not taste like squid, though that is a reasonable
comparison for baby octopus. A lot will vary depending on expertise
of the cook, cooking method, and size of the octopus.
