If you know anything about my food-frakking deputy, Julia, you know that she frequently has uncontrollable cravings for octopus.
\n
\nYou know, I’ve had octopus a lot, and I keep forgetting that they have this weird butt nozzle.
\n<\/p>\n

Julia and I tried to follow the preparation directions on the back. Which didn’t go perfectly. First it said to rub salt on the octopus until a white foam appears. Didn’t really see that. Then it said to lightly poach it in water.
\n
\nBy the time I was frying the tentacles in Korean barbecue sauce, I was already wishing that I had marinated them overnight and then stewed them for a couple hours.
\n
\nBut the tentacles turned out colorful if nothing else.
\n<\/p>\n

On another night, we satisfied my craving for croaker<\/a>. At most Korean groceries, half the fish freezer is filled with croaker, so I had to see if it was all that great.
\n<\/p>\n

Julia found a recipe for sweet and sour croaker. It involved slashing the side of the fish and dusting it in rice flour.
\n<\/p>\n

For the vegetable, I sliced up some pickled Japanese radish<\/a>.
\n
\nIt was sweet and crisp, not unlike the pickled squash<\/a> I had recently, or maybe I’m just cuing in on the similar color.<\/p>\n

Then the croaker sat in the oil until crisp.
\n<\/p>\n

I completely botched the sweet and sour sauce. I should have added the starch gradually, and not used the entire thing. Instead, I poured in a cup and a half of potato starch and the whole wad gelled into a rubbery paste. Chalk that up to a learning experience.
\n
\nBut I would have to say it was a pretty decent fish. The meat peeled off the bones easily and it had a subtle, almost homey flavor to it. This would be a good fish for when you have company coming over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
