Mmmm.. alligator
My experience with octopus is limited to sushi. It's ok, very mild flavored, more of a textural thing. I don't order it, but if its in my combo or chirashi I eat it. I'd probably skip the crackers though.
I'm completely addicted to seaweed salad right now, but dried doesn't appeal to me unless its completely different than the little bit of dried wakame I tasted before I put it in the miso.
