Thanks El Guapo, I followed that link, the book looks like a winner.....I have to admit that I'm a junkie for fish ID books, I have been looking for something like this for quite a while! I like it that they have a pic of the fish fillet along with the description, useful for exposing unscrupulous fishmongers!
I have had no luck finding the common name for those baby octopus aside from 'baby octopus' :blink: , but I did find out that all the ones you see on pizzas, at the market etc. are not a domestic product, they are trawled in Thailand and exported all over the world, and believe it or not this species is undescribed (no scientific name!) - if you get in quick you might be able to call it Octopusius elguapo <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
