At our Seattle Korean restaurant, you’ll find many ways to enjoy octopus. You can partake of some spicy fire baby octopi, or try one of our delicious octopus hot pots. It’s a common food in Korea and, though it remains a bit more of an oddity in the States, it’s a taste worth acquiring. If you’ve never been inclined towards the ocean’s more tentacle-y bounty, consider the many health benefits of our favorite eight-legged meal.
Octopus, like much of the rest of the seafood world, is very healthy for you. It’s rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, low in fat and calories, and it provides a good supply of protein and iron to many people who choose to eschew land-based meat. It also contains an array of other valuable nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, selenium, and taurine. It’s a good way to keep your body in balance, boost your immune system, battle the effects of aging, and prevent a laundry list of some of the more deadly cancers.
With that in mind, why not come and give octopus a try down at Old Village? Your body will thank you for taking the plunge!
