What's your fish food recipe?

Yeah I have to wait until my family is out of the house for a couple hours also. It does smell up the house quite bad. I’m allergic to shellfish also so it’s a bit of a challenge but I still find it worth it. My wife thinks I’m crazy.

If the smell is that strong I may just take the food processor out to the porch to keep my wife from being angry.

Grocery store live clams/mussels --> garage workbench --> shuck/chop/freeze
*wash the heck out of the cutting board and throw it outside for a couple days

Apparently lol. I just remember I had some frozen mussels so I thawed them and just finished cutting them out of the shell and with that alone my wife is not happy.

WOW, sounds like my wife, I love seafood and my wife hates it. Occasionally, I fix some for myself and she leaves the house for the evening because "of the smell"

Yep when I make crab legs my wife will find somewhere else to spend the evening. I like some seafood, but I’m not a big fan of oysters, clams, or mussels.

anyone have a good recipe for smaller fish / corals mixed?
I'm assuming the pieces just need to be smaller for their mouths, but do you add anything special in for them?

It made a lot, I would say it was close to over a year.
Yes I made several small freezer quart bags make them really thin half the thickness of a pencil (my preference) it made atleast 12 bags but I really can’t remember.

My next batch (current) I halved the recipe, I also removed

dried krill
BRS Paracoccus powder
BRS Spirulina Powder
