Post your favorite home-made frozen fish food recipes

[King Jason]

These are great recipes. Could you guys let us know what you are feeding all these goodies to?

Where do you guys get all your live food? Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough when at the grocery store, but I don't ever remember seeing a tank full of all this live seafood (besides a lobster tank)

OK- Just made a trip to local fish market (Yes, I was surprised to find one here in knoxville) and I will share my recipe that I just used. The wife isn't too happy about the use of her food processor and about the smell, but she is doing better than I expected.

Here is the recipe:

1 lb atlantic scrod fillet
12 large atlantic clams (alot of work for little meat)
10 large oysters (I ate two out of the dozen)
1 lb medium/small shrimp (20 count)
4 medium squid (also a lot of work)
1 oz spirulina flake
1 tsp zoecon
4 tsp vitachem

Blended until mushy w/ some larger particles and spread into 2 large ziplock freezer bags. I rolled it out so it is about 1/4" thick and it is in the freezer as we speak. I will let you know how well my fish like it. Any feedback?

Ernie,

Yeah, don't over feed or expect your skimmer to go nuts!

What the heck is a scrod? I hope you aren't eating any of those yourself!

Scrod is an atlantic fish with white flesh. The scrod I bought was fished off the coast of boston. Yes, people eat them. It was the cheapest white-meat marine fish (fresh) in the place.

You got that right. more often than not that's the determining factor in what the bulk meat-product in my mix usually is. I have some standards I always try to include (the shrimp, scallops, oysters, and crab), but the rest kinda floats as to what's on sale at Palmer's that week... IMO, any old white-fish will do.

Around here, we only eat fish with cool names like "Wahoo", "Dorado", and "Amberjack". I will leave the scrod to you guys.

FWIW, technically, I don't beleive there is any such fish as a scrod. I believe there are a variety of fish that are white meat that are called scrod in the marketplace. It may be cod, or some other similar whitefish.

You would think they would have come up with a better name than scrod. Souds to much like scrotum. 8O

Other than enjoying taking care of my aquarium, I also love to eat fish, but my most favorite past-time is fishing. I would certainly never never never tell anyone, when asked what I caught today, say "I picked up a 20 lb scrod." I think that all my fishing buddies, the people at the dock, my wife, and even my dog, would all look at me kind of funny and probably never ask me about fishing again.

My wife thought that "Scrod" was slang for "Scrotum." No joke.

Update: Almost all my fish (Yellow tang, sailfin tang, 3 yellow damsels, 4 ocellaris clownfish) loved the recipe. The only fish who turned up its nose was my mandarin. No surprise there.

I've lived in New England most of my life and took many a fisheries class in school and still don't really know what scrod is. I assumed it was small cod or perhaps pollack or hake or other cheaper codlike fish.

Ya think bringing home scrod to the dock will give you odd looks :wink: , how about scup, flukes and monkfish 8O .

I promise, the name at the store was SCROD!

Anyone else with some cool recipes? Also, any feedback as to which types of fish seem to like a particular recipe?

Thanks,

I saw this thread - any one want to add any updates - I may try and make some this weekend.

I was thinking some clams, oysters, shrimp, some kind of fish (recommendations?), some dried Nori (maybe a sheet or half sheet),

Is this enough? Do I need to add vitamins or something else?

Part 1
Three small clams de-shelled (1 1/2" across) Blend lightly
Four to five peeled prawns depending on size (16-25s I believe)
About a one inch cube of skinless salmon if I have it
Three cubes of formula one, these need chopped with a knife first (I wont buy more when its gone, I dont like how gelatinous it is. I just isn't natural)
The first part is kind of tricky, the clam juice can make the mix too juicy if you use it all. I usually do, but this last batch was wetter than I like. Basicly you only want is wet enough to not turn into a ball. Blend until you think the particals are the size you want.
Part 2
Rinse 4-5 cubes of mysis and add to mix
Thaw 3-5 cubes of baby brine and/or rotifiers in about 1/8 cup of tank water
Add to mix and blend just enough to mix in.
This makes enough for one cube daily for about six weeks.

Hi, alls!

I buy what is on sale at the seafood counter (ocean fish 20% and shrimp 10% with squid 70% ).
It it is crushed on a grater to add cyclop, mysis, selcon, daphnia, artemias, some flake Sera Marin and Sera GranuMarinfor for color and vitamin with nori.
Then all this is frozen.

My english is not very good, excuse me.
