I've seen a few DIY recipes and some info on what to put in them (eg clams, muscles, oysters, squid,shrimp,etc)
But what about things not to put in.
Is all fish ok to mix? salmon, cod , tilapia
What about canned fish? oysters, muscles, clams
the grocery store sells a frozen bag called "seafood medley" It has octopus,squid, cuddlefish,cooked muscles.cooked shrimp. Is that ok?
It also sells organic dulse. Which from the east coast. OK instead of nori?
Need some good advice from some knowlegable folks. Any advice ? or experiences ? |
Great satisfaction in making your own food. Significant savings also from buying those prepackaged frozen cubes. You also know exactly what your fish are getting.
Those "seafood medley" packages are great. Have used before.
But don't know how fresh everything is in them.
Just about as cheap to go to well stocked fish counter at any large super market and buy couple of everything they have on shelf...
Do add some chopped nori and a couple drops of garlic extract if you want.

Check this out...
"Pacific Marina Brand" Gourmet Seafood Mix
Shrimp, Squid, Mussels, Octpus, Crab Sticks
Price $2.25 (net wt. 14 oz's)
Add a little nori/spirolina...put in blender/grinder --- freeze results and use as needed. (I freeze in flat paddies in ziplock bag and just break off size I want for each feeding)
Make a little extra, should be great on crackers.  |
Heck with the above.
Went by my Asian food store today and was told they no longer carry this product.
So stopped by Safeway on way home and got:
6 shrimp
1 crab leg
1 sole fillet
4 scollops
4 mussels
Total cost: $2.75 (fresh!)
(was a bit weird buying. When I asked for 4 scollops, the sales person said "4" pounds? --- no just 4 I said. Then I asked for 4 mussels, same response. --- she finally got it on 3rd request
)
Looks Like:
Chopped Nori and kelp flakes added then put thru grinder:
Yummy...ready to get out spoon...
Packed in sandwich bag & sent to freezer...this will take care of my frozen feeding needs for 2-3 months.
Some squid only thing I wanted to add also, but they were out of stock...
Oh...also added some finely chopped nori and a few drops of garlic extract to mix in grinder.
Good looking stuff...my fish will love it. (They do - )
