This is the latest batch I made:

$14.00 5# bag of seafood from Sam's (uncooked & frozen)
$3.00 Package of Nori from asian market in south city
$1.00 Garlic (I may leave this out next time as it stinks)
$22.00 PE Mysis
$8 Brine Shrimp
-------
$40.00

Round that up to $50 if you want with the bags I guess and if I forgot something. I have been feeding this for over a year now and I will have a ton left. I feed about a sandwich bag full per week in my 110. I do also throw in some pellets or flake once in awhile.

The main reason I like it is because I can control what's going in. I was especially concerned about phosphates as I like to feed a lot. It works for me at least and the fish love it.

When I was at Sam's the last time they had a bag of frozen seafood. I don't recall specifically what was in it, but I do remember seeing some ingredients that weren't specifically seafood. My assumption was that they were preservatives or that the crabmeat was imitation crab meat with some fillers in it.

Do you recall what the brand was or what the bag looked like that you purchased?

I saw that one and didn't get it. They had 2 choices when I bought it. I really don't remember much else honestly.

The guys at docs said it doesn't go bad since it's been brined I threw out a bunch also until I asked if they had smaller containers of it.

That's great to know! Now I can make it last, all my fish love it. I should mix it up and feed something else, I have been feeding them it and mysis with selcon the past few weeks.

I found the one you are talking about in the freezer. The surimi literary translates to "ground fish meat" so yeah. I have seen it made in person and it's exactly that... I would just toss out the imitation crab and use it. Looks good to me otherwise.

Keep an eye on your phosphates. This stuff is loaded with them.
