Lidl deluxe octopus carpaccio

I have been wanting to try this for years but held back because the ones I had in the tin were not nice.
Ultimately you can't beat restaurant slow cooked or fresh ones.
Anyway, it was surprisingly nice in terms of mouth feel because it was springy and not mushy.
Flavour wise, you have to eat a fair bit to notice the taste of the octopus because you taste the heavy oils and lemon which is ok but some might prefer a balanced taste of octopus and seasoning.
I would say, it was ingenious that they serve them as carpaccio slices because some parts can be quite tough so by thinly slicing it served in the oil, it makes it much tender to eat.
