It's been 30+ years since I've eaten any, but I thought nakji bokkeum was cuttlefish.

Nakji- Octopus
Oh Jing Oh - Squid (Cuttle Fish)

Not that the distinction really holds any sway with me - I can't say I enjoyed myself, eight legs and a whole lot of Gochu Jjang....I don't think I could tell the difference.

I love nakji. That video made it look soooooo good. I'll have to hunt this place down.
