What does Octopus taste like?

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.

The pluralization of octopus as "octopi" is in fact, in its Latinate form, incorrect, as this would require it to be a second declension Latin word. Since its classification in Latin form is third declension, according to classical Latin grammar rules, the plural of octopus should be octopodes.

In any case, the more commonly used plural of octopus is "octopuses" - which classicists regard as an incorrect oversimplification.

Besides this, the plural of platypus cannot be universally agreed upon either - "platypuses", "platypus", and "platypi", as well as the grammatically correct plural "platypodes", are used with varying levels of popularity.
