Cooked an octopus. Ended up with a lot of soupy water. Saved it, cooked another octopus in it. What can I do with all this dilute fishy water?

Concentrate. Freeze in ice cube trays for risotto.

Best answer: Google led me to these sites: Galician Octopus Broth, Neapolitan Tea, Octopus Risotto, a Greek Octopus broth Skordalia, and several sites mention in passing using the Octopus broth as you would any other seafood broth.

I keep a few bags in my freezer for stock. When one gets full, I make stock with it, and freeze what I don’t use within a few days. This would go into my ‘seafood’ bag, to be simmered with any other seafood scraps to make seafood stocks.

Then use it for pasta, noodles, rice, soups, etc.
