  I've seen them in morrisons - about £3 iirc. I think they maybe seasonal though.

  and where to buy one. Hardly anywhere sells it!!

  Can you not ask a fishmonger? A decent one will order on in for you.
  
  Otherwise you could buy frozen online. Freezing is not too bad for it as it tenderises it.

  Octopus is one of my favourite foods. Cooked, refridgerated and then served cold and with vinegar is lovely but bbq and drizzled with lemon zest and juice, garlic and oil is nice too.
