I would not have associated octopus with Mongolia?

 

It's Inner Mongolian; not Mongolian. True, it is land-locked and most of its aquatic food is fresh water fish from the Yellow River which flows through the region, but it's not far from Beijing and the sea. There is a large fresh fish market in Hohhot, the capital. So mabe not so traditional to have octopus, but they certainly have them. I ate it at a wedding banquet in Inner Mongolia in 2001.
