Starting small, eating the soul of a gull...

The more I learn about cephalopods the more I want to nuke the oceans.

Don't tell me you're intimidated by something that can figure out how to unscrew a jar lid in 16 seconds... Oh, wait.

I know some people who can't do that.

As terrifying as Cthulhu may be, he is also rather delicious.
Roasted up on the grill but served cold, with a bit of oil, onions, a bit of salad...hmm

First time I had that I was in Spain, imagine full size onion rings but instead of onion they were made of Cthulhu.

Fucking delicious, I've yet to find any as good in the US

Trying to get decent seafood in the middle of the country can be quite a chore -- part of the appeal of staying on the coasts. I ordered fish in Indiana once and it was the only restaurant meal I ever got that I simply could not eat -- and I was hungry too.

And yeah, fried Cthulu can be yummy -- just make sure that you eat the critter, not the other way around.

If we keep pissing off Papa Cthulhu by eating his babies, the middle part of the country is going to be looking a damn sight better than being within tentacle reach.

Wait - does that mean the people who ate Cthulhu's babies are more likely to get eaten first or do you mean they'll have to suffer the horror of the great old ones awakening?

Both?

I'll be pooping my pants when the sea starts bubbling for sure, but I'll also be incensed that a taunting, militant vegan standing next to me doesn't have a tentacle wrapped around their waist, while I'm being dragged into the water just because of that Seafood Fra Diavlo I once (often) ordered.

Mmmmmmm fra diavlo........

When I was in east africa I would go to the night market and get octopus on a stick. Imagine a whole leg curled up like, well, like a lolipop on a skewer, grilled. Fuckin' ay yeah.

I had something similar to that in Greece. Found a little stand just off the beach that had something different every day, whatever the guy's brother in law had hauled in that morning grilled up right there. Octopus was by far my favorite.

Apparently it's real.

"Claude's shell is 15-inches across and it's estimated he's large enough to make 160 crabcakes..."

Mmmm, crabcakes...

As usual, the Japanese are way ahead of the west, even in apocalyptic matters like this.



Looks fierce, doesn't it? Now, you think "Yeah, that looks fierce, but I bet it's really small with them thin legs, can't weigh much..."
How about 41 pounds?



And that isn't a man-made freak of some sort, that's just a large specimen. Johnny, you probably did good getting out while you could. Or bad, depending on where you stand on the great old ones rising and all that.

Also, I just remembered, the last couple of years, pretty much all indigenous sweetwater crustaceans in large parts of Germany have been pushed out by Chinese mitten crabs and a lot of the indigenous species of the North Atlantic and North Sea are being crowded out by enormous (and often genuinely radioactive, no joke) crabs moving out of the polar sea, darnit if I could remember what they are called, as luck has it, when not radioactive (though probably even then) they are apparently delicious...the plot, it thickens...

never going in the ocean again
