I would like to purchase the cheapest octopus I can find so that I may prepare a high quality octopus meal for me to eat. How much do you typically pay per volume for octopus? The good people of /ck/ will point me in the right direction inshallah.
>Isn't it interesting. The legs of the octopus can operate independently from the rest of the body. Imagine being one of the many octopus brains.

Idk what "cheap" is for you, but I now pay $3.99/lb at my local fishmonger. Used to be $3.49. Squid used to be $1.99/lb but that jumped to $2.99. Cuttlefish is the same as it always was, $5.99lb. Lobster, too, $6.99/lb. I saw all these prices last Friday.

I pay about AUD$40 for 1kg of west Australian tenderised octopus legs (frozen). I usually thaw, boil in water for about 20 - 30min this step makes them extremely tender, cut them up into 2 inch pieces and marinade in garlic, oregano, evoo, lemon juice, red wine and parsley then put them on the charcoal grill to crisp up a bit.

Had a pet octopus for about 2 years, he'd always try to devise ways to escape to another tank I had close by.

I had to give him up due to moving a long distance. The new owner said he dropped into an almost depressed state for almost a six months, mated and died. Poor little guy.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 19 21:59:46 2022 No.17577770 >>17575967 Compared to other sea dwellers the octopus has significantly more neurons. But not nearly as many as humans. Octopuses are intelligent, nobody can deny.
