The video shows a close-up of a person holding a large octopus with its tentacles hanging down. The octopus is being held over a pot of boiling water, and steam can be seen rising from the pot. The person is using a pair of tongs to hold the octopus, and the tentacles are spread out and swaying slightly. The octopus appears to be cooked, as it is a darker pink color compared to its raw state. The background is blurred, but it seems to be an outdoor setting with natural light.
