it is it dangerous to eat this yes if you don't chew it you could die it's no joke why are we eating it [Music] the octopus it's one of the ocean's most highly intelligent creatures it's also delicious i recently saw a chinese live streamer eating octopus on camera and it was crawling all over her face and neck i sure hoped it doesn't happen to me today this unique boneless squishy seafood is enjoyed by cultures the world over in the space they dry it many hours over charcoal so it's smoky and very octopussy did you say octopuses i don't think we can say that today calvin and i are going to see how chefs from around the globe prepare this eight armed oddity pineapple can soften the octopus meat you have to use it right otherwise it becomes soggy later on like this this is way too much pineapple from super affordable his head is still moving wait for me wait are you eating the head are you too shockingly expensive how do you even do that we're trying to find out which octo dish gives us the most bang for our ball let's go welcome to bang for your buck the show where we eat three different foods and three different price amounts of money today's episode we're going to have octopussies did he say octopussies for real this is one of the world's most interesting bizarre ingredients it's a giant animal just kind of made of muscle that's not stuck to anything i read an article about a south korean woman who ate live octopus and in 16 days she still died hey do we sign a waiver for this why'd you come back to me if you prepare it the wrong way it's gonna be tough chewy and gross if you give it the right kind of tender love and care it's gonna know how to treat you or at least treat calvin our first stop right here hey it's a pleasure to be here boasting over 48 aquarium tanks with the usual seafood fare and more exotic creatures of the sea do you have something in the back secret seafood he has a shark and a whale no i was looking for dolphin i know this is one of the biggest seafood drinking restaurants in ho chi minh city their best selling food you guessed it octopus do they bite i know they have a beak he says it'll suck on your arm but it won't bite you can it stop other places yeah all species of octopus have venom look at the small look at the big one why this one looks half dead with varying levels of toxicity which they inject using their beak this beak can drill into a shelled prey but surely my soft fleshy tongue should be an equal match to this titan of the underworld can you tell us about the dishes you're preparing today you're going to do a thai style what are you laughing for this is the octopus vulgaris the most common species to live in tropical and temperate waters throughout the world you got some like little hickeys calvin some people eat them all live while they're whole i'm ready i'm not saying you have to do that i'm not saying we're doing that but that is something that exists i'm gonna do it [ __ ] are you gonna do it i'm trying to build a little suspension first i think we should check out the way most people eat it you ready i'm ready why is it still moving sunny that's the most unique thing about this dish i'm not blown away right now i'm not that surprised because i've had this type of dish many times in korea san nanchi is a delicacy in korea where they take a baby octopus and they chop it into little pieces put sesame oil on it and they serve it to you while still wiggling around here they cut it up with a scissors on the side a thai sauce a fish sauce base made with a mixture of kumquat juice peppers chilies lemongrass garlic mint lime leaves and wasabi do you suck this like a spaghetti no absolutely not you don't want to get it caught in your throat you have to chew it thoroughly like you shouldn't feed this to kids under two no no why would you do that maybe if they're three no sunny maybe four chomp all these little suckers i went for it are you gonna swallow it at some point no the texture is great a little jelly feeling it slides down your throat like a slip and slide this sauce is incredible it's very powerful very delicious i love this sauce is it weird i'm talking about sauce it's a [ __ ] lime octopus why is he talking about sauce flavor his head is still moving and that was just a fun starter nothing can compare to what we're about to try next eating the chopped up octopus to me not such a big deal eating an octopus whole this i have not done for a long time i'm not really looking forward to it you're supposed to kind of tie it around like this you know what i'm gonna just suck it okay just don't get in your throat this is actually dangerous this time cheers eating live octopus is dangerous it's a literal choking hazard since the octopus arms contain neurons these extremities continue to move and the suction cups continue to grip and they could grip on to your throat oh no despite all this the dish remains an odd delicacy popular through many parts of asia just be sure to chew thoroughly i'm praying i'm alive that is some drunk man type of stuff right there it doesn't taste better no it doesn't that was literally five minutes of chewing my jaw is tired my jaw is exhausted right now what is the point of that absolutely nothing location one octopus one only three dollars it's time to beat that price but we have a lot more octopus experiences ahead of us we do i think we keep going let's go let's go down a couple alleys after a few twists and turns you'll find this hole in the wall a local hot spot offering a variety of japanese treats including this guy [Music] meet chef owner of ichihana sushi he worked in japanese restaurants in the us since the age of 17. since then he's been obsessed with the japanese culinary arts my master was japanese america he said one word to me that changed my life you're in united states different food is all in america so fusional modern love you japanese as a foundation and then take off to the next level that's 42 words that's easy to memorize though today he'll use his knowledge and years of experience to prepare a taco course menu by the way taco means octopus in japanese like working with squid octopus can be tough and unpleasant if you don't treat it right [Music] you if you have a knowledge of how to massage and make a tentacle is soft do you do a happy ending massage are you in vietnam massage the octopus in a mixture of himalayan pink salt radish pineapple juice radish juice and sake next boil the octopus for 30 minutes in soju soy sauce sake mirin radish red seaweed pineapple combo leaves yoshimoto mushroom green tea and motherfreaking salt when the dish is finished how much is this going to cost 30 to 40 dollars oh yeah it's not just taco long what i put in it and how i cook it is from here and here the love and the brain yeah you know our first location where we had the tiny lobster and they'd chop it up with scissors that was a little bit more of a hurried unrefined process i would say here you can see the years of experience the chef has that he's put into every single item on this table let's roll with it man i see what you did there is that good weed left dish one the octopus roll chop up octopus tentacle meat into small chunks then make a roll with a seaweed sheet japanese rice and herbs i think for the market you want a little bit of lubrication sorry maki m aki maki what's monkey meat maki means roll so a monkey roll means roll roll [Music] the octopus it's a nice presence it's well balanced with the rice it's soft japanese food is always about texture that chewiness of the octopus keep on when you bite into it it's not soft but it's milky new words i learned on google last night milky over here another appetizer the cucumber salad this isn't just any kind of cucumber this is a japanese cucumber and let me just try just to be sure maybe they did something crazy to it and it tastes like apple that's a cucumber dish too the octopus salad mix octopus slices with red seaweed sea grapes japanese cucumber ponzu sauce lime juice and garnish with edible flowers i don't like the cucumber but i'm gonna get a nice bite here i do like that you put a lot of flowers on it it's really pretty yeah it's a little garden fantasy i'm gonna try it on cheers really great smokiness to it right the octopus itself is so powerful and smoky and juicy that i didn't get any cucumber notes i'm very happy about that bite now the main star dish three octopus sashimi straight up octopus tentacle sliced and served did you know octopus has nine brains one for its inner body and then one for each of his tentacles how much wikipedia did you do before you came here today straight up octopus let's go for it it tastes like ham you're right what's interesting though is that took a lot of work to get it like that yes if you just throw an octopus in water boil it and then try to gnaw on it it's going to be really tough and not have good flavors either this is great i think for 30 what do you think this is one arm across everything here no it's half an arms tentacle can be up to six feet long while i find a lot of guys exaggerate the length of the tentacle why it was cold i mean i'm talking about octopus oh for today's most expensive octopus experience we're heading to cuba saigon a fusion tapas restaurant here we have the biggest octopus of the day how many kilograms is the octopus 7.5 it was a very big animal meet head chef pedro born and raised in spain pedro discovered a passion for cooking at a young age how much is octopus utilized in spain it's very very common and they have few ways of cooking it you can grill it you can deep fry it you can stew it you can sun dry till very very very dry i wish you would use your arms to help make your points more i'm spanish so i'm very expressive like an octopus today he's serving up octopus five ways over five courses no alcohol and no massage the chef simply boils the octopus in water with pepper and cloves for an hour what do you like about the octopus oh i love it it's amazing first of all you know it was a world cup an octopus said that spain was going to win and actually spain won the world cup and did you guys eat that octopus it's very bitey and crunchy and hard texture and it's amazing well what about that what'd you do there hey look at that i'll imagine our lunk first dish grilled octopus here we have the lower part of the tentacle which i like to grill because we have the thinner part and stays very crunchy and a bit burnt which is nice then we have some romesco sauce which is a very traditional spanish sauce or from the mediterranean side some beautiful asparagus tips some shallow chips and fresh cilantro leaves and of course olive oil all right let's dig into it this looks awesome how do you even do that milky smooth i didn't know a big piece of octopus could be pillowy like that yeah oh my god when you took that big bite i was like you're just gonna be gnawing on them what are you thinking it's super soft well done this is an amazing start the final thing i want to talk about is the price calvin feel for your wallet how much is this five course meal gonna be the whole menu would be around a hundred dollars where's my wallet i have it in my possession why do you have my wallet now i know why people are so into tentacle um tentacles are delicious yes and they find crevices to go into i have no idea what you're talking about let's talk about the dish before us right now course two this is a charitable toast it's a house made octopus and iberico pork chorizo serving a toast bread with a bit of tomato tartare on top cheers [Music] oh my god i don't want to swallow right now the smokiness the richness the savoriness oh yeah i forgot to describe it what's interesting is he put it into a sausage but you don't really like taste octopus yes octopus isn't the star of the show no but it's a miracle pork and the sausage really went together and made a harmonious symphony yeah it's i don't think it's even like a supporting actor i think it's like holding a light like a key grip still very important are you a key group our next course is well you said pulpo la gallega easy so we make a potato foam with garlic umerico oil sherry wine and pimenton and then we put thinly slices of octopus on top a bit of green onion oil and some curly green onion oh the foam is so delicate it just kind of breaks down and flattens as you scoop it up wow it coats your entire mouth with the most thin layer of delicious kind of mild savoriness i wish i was as thin as this octopus that texture of the potato it's like a cloud right and so it kind of gives the octopus a cloud to fly on wow that was beautiful course four this is a smoked octopus using the upper part of the tentacle pan fried in wagyu beef fat now i know the wagyu cows have the best beef but do they have the best fats they do oh i thought they'd be more of a discussion okay they do slice it up and plate with fermented strawberries and a wagyu zhu a super concentrated beef stock [Music] my man here knows how to handle the tentacle there's zero seafood essence from it it's just very meaty and then meanwhile you have just like super sweet strawberry strawberries and octopus it shouldn't make sense to you no you don't go and eat seafood and fruit but these two together really carries that flavor it's an unexpected jewel like you and me that's right okay this dish is amazing that's a slow braised octopus whisker with a bit of lime aioli and lemon basil pesto on top raise octopus flesh in a sauce made of shallots garlic flour raisins paprika and cashew nuts plate and serve with a spanish cracker garnish with a touch of tomato jam pesto lime aioli and brown rice if you look at this it's almost like pork belly right it's cut into that little rectangular shape and it's braised so it's going to be super soft like pork fat it's keto it's cute it's basically keto friendly and it's vegan [Music] sweet savory tang what i love is with the cracker he's squirt all these powerful flavor components on here so each little piece of the cracker gives you a different flavor oh look at this it got a big old sucker on here it does feel almost like pork fats you still get that gelatinous texture but without all those calories i love it phenomenal octopus it is so dynamic it's so interesting it's not just one of these fish that you fillet it's a giant mussel it can be small it can be huge but either way there's just so much you can do with it where do people use octopus in america i mean this is so weird that you have this abundance of octopus off the atlantic and pacific coast and you're not utilizing it in your food right because the u.s is not about having a dynamic diverse amount of food it's about working with the food we have and putting more cheese on it calvin today we tried three different types of octopus experiences for three different price amounts of money which one for you gave you the most bang for your buck or the most hauler for your dollar oh i like that the most hollow for my dollar has been how he treated the octopus today it brought me to spain although i'm still in vietnam what about you sonny for me i gotta say location one wow for three dollars i had a near life-ending experience and it really made me thankful for every day that i wake up in the morning also i think it'd be a fun crazy activity to bring a friend to do with you if they come and travel to vietnam that's a good idea being an influencer doesn't require millions of fans all you need is this t-shirt entertain and inspire at your own pace don't be an influencer be a micro influencer get your shirt now that soju has been in and around this octopus leg tactical oh god you're really good at it i'm really focused today good that adderall is really working out isn't that kind of cool in vietnam people utilize where they work and where they live at the same place yeah i love that yeah i should do that i mean for tax reasons i don't do that but in theory i do this is actually dangerous this time i got it all right guys if he is boy i'll give ten percent of the money from this video this is the upper part of the tentacles right like the deltoids we're talking about the deltoid region of the octopus that's right why do i get the voice right now so you massage it yeah when it's alive uh no no death massage yeah if i ever die go ahead and give me one of those death massages he's talking about it sounds great a little elbow yeah something like that how big can this get hundreds of kilos how many kills are you hundreds 100 yeah and three your hair how do you have so much of it can you explain that i guess because it's a lot of fish do you eat a lot of fish just fish sticks how smart would an octopus have to be for you to not kill it and eat it for example if an octopus could do your taxes would you kill that octopus said no he'll use it to pick the winning game tonight on soccer thank you so much calvin for joining me today you can check out his youtube channel and you should it's called fkn deliciousness that is it for this one guys we will see you next time peace oh i'm gonna go back in for a beer time i'm here oh [ __ ] i think the octopus is coming out a butt right now oh that might be a medical issue should we call that one you should see a doctor are you a doctor i'm not i'm a love doctor
