Where can I buy pickled octopus?

Question

I am looking for oriental style pickled octopus. I want to be able to buy it for home use, instead of getting it at the restaurant. I am not interested in just the recipe. If anyone knows of a place near Greensboro NC - that would be best, but on line is fine.

Answer 1

Try specialty markets such as an Asian market that might carry it.  I'm sure you can find some markets like that in your yellow pages.

Answer 2

d**n gurl. You sho have an interesting taste.   lol.   i buy the Goya brand canned octopus. it's not pickled, but it's very good. comes in a sardine type can.

Answer 3

On Chapel Hill Road, just down from the Coliseum, you might see if they carry them at Pickled Cephalopods 'R' Us...

Answer 4

Melinda, if you can't find it in an ethnic grocery, try pickled herring or packed in sour cream, Vita brand, in a jar, everywhere...delicious.
