    Boiled Octopus - Red Water - Losing Nutrients?

    Hey there, Tonight I decided to try boiling baby octopus (I usually fry in coconut oil) and noticed the water turned very very red. What do y'all think that is?

    For the life of me I can't find Oysters in brine anywhere (Im in Kent, UK) I can get hold of mussells in glass jars stored in salt water (Nickname "The poor mans oyster). As far as I can see Mussells are practically the same as oysters. Do they have the same nutritional content (Or there...
