And no, I wont eat octopus, dead or alive because they may be sentient beings.

(3,299 posts)I will eat nakji cooked, preferably fried or braised or in a relatively tame hot soup. The problem is I don't like to see them cooked live either . To me it is preferable to squid (awjingaw). It is also preferable to seaslug (hesam). I embarrassed myself once a long time ago, when offered hesam, which is served fresh. I couldn't eat it.

the Korean broadcast services on the internet have so many cooking, restaurant and marketplace programs. If it's about marine food products (he san), sooner or later these scenes where marine life is being cooked live turn up. my better half doesn't like the practice either. Kill it or freeze it first, then cook it. I literally see scenes like this on video almost daily. I have to turn away.
I think the tradition comes from not having adequate refrigeration until relatively recently in historical terms, so prizing "hesan" fresh from the sea, was a common sense practice from a health standpoint. It doesn't get any fresher than still being alive. Even with refrigeration or pickling processing eating without cooking presents risks of food poisoning (to an American anyway). I get the impression that the locals are immune. Beware pickled crabs!
