Octopus minor, commonly called long arm octopus or Korean common octopus,[1] is an octopus species found along the coastal waters of China, Korea, Japan, and Sakhalin.[2][3][4] The species, called nakji (낙지) in Korean, is sometimes translated as "baby octopus" due to its relatively small size compared to the giant octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini).[5][6]

Culinary use

In Korean cuisine, long arm octopuses are stir-fried into nakji-bokkeum (stir-fried octopus) or eaten raw as san-nakji (sliced raw octopus).[7][8]
