I'll never eat it again after I learned how intelligent they are. I watched a show years ago that listed them as like the 4th most intelligent animal (think it went dolphin, chimp, parrot, octopus). There's interesting youtube videos showcasing their intelligence.
When I used to eat it I was unimpressed. Chewy, not much flavor. I'm not at all displeased at finding out how intelligent they are because I'm not missing out on anything.

I can attest to this. A real life buddy who worked at an aquarium used to be in charge of feeding the octopus. He said it would get bored and they'd have to figure out fun things for it to do. The used to put bits of food in between Lego pieces and the thing would pull apart the Legos to get the food.
He spoke of one time in particular where they had a tank for sick & dying fish. It was next to the octopus tank. The sick and dying fish kept is appearing. They watched security camera footage to see what was happening. At night, the octopus was CLIMBING OUT of its tank, going into the dying fish tank, eating the fish, then CLIMBING BACK IN to its own tank (and replacing the lid.)
