you can get Squid or cuttle fish if you can't find octopus. They are easier to chew.
The East Asian (Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese) stores have them.
Both VA and MD have a lot of these stores.

If you can't find octopus, squid is a good sub and much more easily available.

I have a friend who makes great paella, and that's the place he recommended.

A and H seafood in Bethesda would be a good place to try. Amazing seafood. They'd have the other ingredients for your paella too: the rice, noras peppers, chorizo etc. And paella pans!

I'd love to prepare Paella, but the octopus seems to be hard to find in this area. Could anyone tell me where can I buy it?
Thanks!
