Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Hopefully my fellow Bay-Area Red Wings fans can point me in the direction of a store where I can get an octopus. I'm not from there, but I would be somewhat surprised if any place would actually sell one right now. Might have to head of town, or rent some scuba gear and catch one yourself. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Grayne Wetzky Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Hopefully my fellow Bay-Area Red Wings fans can point me in the direction of a store where I can get an octopus. Best bet is to get up to San Francisco. Your purchase will go undetected there!!! Hopefully my fellow Bay-Area Red Wings fans can point me in the direction of a store where I can get an octopus. Also, If you're in the lower level for game 7, I'll hand deliver the octopus to you before the game if you promise to chuck it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali-Wing-Nut 102 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Hopefully my fellow Bay-Area Red Wings fans can point me in the direction of a store where I can get an octopus. I wish you the best but you will be arrested as soon as you throw it there. Two games ago(for me Game 4 regular season) fans with face paint on were hoping I had one to call me out. If you dont get arrested you will probably be attacked. I was almost attacked after Game 1 because I was wearing red, throwing the sacred Octopi is for the trully righteous May god and the force be with you Edited May 11, 2011 by Cali-Wing-Nut 1 Chris Avram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, If you're in the lower level for game 7, I'll hand deliver the octopus to you before the game if you promise to chuck it! Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I would try the San Francisco Fish Co. at the Ferry Building. I'm not from San Fran, but I've been to the Ferry Building before, so I knew they had seafood, and after looking at SFFC's site, I think that would be your best shot, and here's why: Other fresh, seasonal offering include:+ Locally caught Black Cod (Sable) + Bay Shrimp from Oregon + Florida Octopus + Locally caught Smelt (aka: "Fries with Eyes") + Locally caught Sand Dabs + Plenty of whole fish for grilling, including: Huachinango, Bronzini, Striped Bass, and Dorade Ding ding!! I don't know if it's whole or not, but that sounds promising to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legaleaglewingsfan 75 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Should we start raising bail money a la Phx last year? Also let me know I have some lawyer friends in the bay area who would probably be willing to donate time if things go south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACallToArms 270 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 If you chuck one, you will truly be taking one for the team in order to secure a Red Wings victory. Not only will they kick you out, you will probably be murdered by their idiot fan base. Good luck to you my friend, may the Hockey Gods deem your sacrifice as favorable, and finally give the Red Wings some puck luck in front of Niemi. :octo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
selkie 10 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Given the Bay area's huge Asian population, you probably have a lot of options since it's a delicacy in a number of places over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USNAVYABH 2 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 I have one in the freezer but I am in up state NY. We just buy them at the local grocery store. That has a decent sea food selection you may have to ask GO wings go!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted May 11, 2011 There's tons of places in the city to get your hands on one. I'm positive I could get my hands on one in Chinatown, and fisherman's wharf is a good possibility too (but that's more a tourist trap than seafood market). The previously mentioned Ferry Building is likely to have them, but it's also likely to be the priciest location in town. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with a location in the south bay.

WingNutNorCal 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Race Street Fish Market 3 minutes from HP Pavillion. :ph34r: :ph34r: Been there a few times and have seen them in stock. Last time I was there I was wearing a Red Wings cap, and one of the guys behind the counter couldn't believe it and high five'd me. He had just moved from Detroit and actually pulled out his MI drivers license to prove it. That's your best bet for being close to the rink. But like it was mentioned before, They may not sell you one...depends who's working the counter, I would imagine. All the stores down that close to the stadium have those damn "This is Sharks Territory" signs in their windows. Best of luck, look forward to seeing a pi hit the ice.

Jon_G 6 Report post Posted May 12, 2011 LEGENDARY!!! Thx for all the help in this thread. I am not at all worried about the Sharks' "fan base" or "being attacked"...BRING IT. Or even being arrested, not worried! Just spoke to someone on the phone at Race Street, the octopi are frozen solid, wouldnt be suitable. Can't get through to SFFC, its a busy signal... I will keep trying though! If you can help me at all, feel free to email me derhuhn@gmail.com I will respond immediately Race Street Fish Market 3 minutes from HP Pavillion. :ph34r: :ph34r: Been there a few times and have seen them in stock.

Grypho 195 Report post Posted May 12, 2011 You don't have to go to SF, it's not like every sushi bar owner and seller of fish is a hockey fan. Try any of the more authentic sushi bars. Ninja Star Sushi Bar - 130 E. Santa Clara St. , San Jose , CA 95113 I've had live octopus there, I'm sure you could get it as takeout. Good luck! 1 Ram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
