I tend to make larger batches since it's a PIA, pisses off the Mrs., and I trade/sell some w/ people in our club, but the ingredients is what's important, anyways, right?
2-3 Cups scallops: Half pureed in blender, half cut into 1-2cm pieces.
2 Bags littleneck clams, shelled (15-20 per bag). Shells I put in my refugium and sump and let the bristleworm's go banana's.
2 whitefish fillets, skin removed (whatever the local fish market has on sale that week, usually cod, seabass, tilapia, or other whitefish).
3 crab legs, remove as much of shell as possible (tang seems to like nibbling on smaller pieces of the shell for some reason).
1 doz. Oysters (shucked, shells to the bristle-worm population).
30-40 or so shrimp, whole, frozen, fresh, whatever... chuck 'em in the blender and let it fly!
1 fresh Tuna fillet
20 or so smelt (yes, my fish have high cholesterol, so what?
)
1-1.5 oz. of each size golden pearls (yes, all 4-5 sizes...)
1 125ml tube of Tahitain Blend Cryopaste
1 125ml tube of Selco.
about 75-100 gram's of Nori sheets (I order 10-12 tube's of the stuff from Brineshrimpdirect.com, and shred into the mix - usually ships in bulk).
1 bag each (about 1 oz. each) of Hikiri, Dulse, Wakame, and whatever other kinds of seaweed my Local Health food store carried that week.
12 grams of Naturarose Astaxanthin powder.
12 grams decapsulated Brine Shrimp Eggs.
12 grams Spirulina powder.

Think that's about it... I usually pick up a little extra fish meat depending on what the local market has on sale that week. About 1/4rd get's put into the blender to be pureed, 1/3rd I break down in the blender to a medium ground mush, the other 1/3rd I try to cut up by hand, to allow for larger pieces for my tang, invert's, and puffer. I try to keep all pieces at a couple cm's, anything much larger is too big for the fishies. The dry goods I mix first, tear up all the seaweed and toss in a bucket, mix in all the powdered stuff, stir well. Clean/prepare all the fis/wet goods, blend appropriately, and dump in bucket w/ dry goods. Add frozen/cryo stuff last, roll up your sleeve, and prepare for some really, really cold fingers. Mix it up good, ladel into Ziploc's, take up half the freezer and really piss off your wife.
Make sure to clean up w/ lemon flavored soap, burn lots of candles, vaccuum for good measure, and get some damned flowers for the Mrs.! Say thanks for letting me have my firends over today, and you _may_ not have to sleep on the couch
