The Octopus as Food

The Octopus as Food.

The octopus now finds a place on the fish stalls in Jersey, where it is eaten either dried or fresh. The local estimate of it is that it makes very good eating, but the local taste also inclines to other things which do not find favor with alien palates. Octopus fishing parties have been very popular in the Channel islands of late, not, however, because the uncouth creature is desired for food, but on account of the destruction it works among the lobsters.--London Globe.
