I think the big ones they had in the first part of the video are from New Zealand. Ive always wanted to taste one! After all, if everything in nature loves to eat these guys then I bet they're pretty tasty!!

they taste like squid or octopus. If you try cuttlefish in its own ink make sure it is fresh, the first time I tryed it was from a can and I could not finish it

That sounds great! I love squid and tako (octopus) poke (raw or partially cooked and seasoned) is one of my fav snacks. Ill keep my eye out out for some.

That's so cool Susanne. I did a school report about them many years ago based on a beautifully illustrated article in the National Geographic. Way back then the NG story emphasized their vibrant color changes but there was nothing about their ability to mimick things like stripes. You learn something new every day. Amazing Creatures. Thanks for the link.
