If the octopus is rubbery, they over cooked it. It should have a slight chew but not be rubbery. Properly cooked octopus is good, much like Lobster. Yet with that said, I do agree with you that lately if you're eating at a restaurant, the quality of the cooked food has gone down, and I think that will turn people off from various proteins that can be very delicious. -

@G. David Felt I agree with this broad rule of thumb. I once tried octopus in a seafood salad at a Y2K celebration. I thought it was chicken. I kept chewing and it was weird and rubbery. With my mouth full, I again asked what it was. I was told "polpo," initially misunderstanding it to be "pollo." I went to the bathroom and spit it out. I now do eat things I didn't like before - lamb, pork chops, and more shellfish. The few times I've had lobster lately, the quality seems to have gone down, so I'm not as impressed as I used to be. - - - - - What I was going to say ... People love to talk about cars. What may initially start out as a tentative (parking lot) conversation turns enthusiastic when it's genuinely only cars that you want to talk about. -
