I was reading on making some of my own food, and noticed a couple references to clubs doing this at meetings, and figured I would guage interest in doing something like this. since we have 2 swaps a year, and I'm sure frozen foods would stay good for this long, we could actually make enough food for the whole club, twice a year, and never have to buy frozen foods. (unless someone wanted to)
If each person brought one ingredient each, it would be cheap, and any extra could be sold at the swap to make some money for the club...
Whatchas think?
heres a recipe I saw:
Eric Borneman's Famous Fish Food Recipe
Fish food and coral food (coral food is liquefied)
Ingredients
· a whole fresh sea fish
· 10 whole shrimp - I squeeze the heads
· 1 pound fresh mussels - cracked and scraped out
· 1 pound fresh clams including clam juice
· 1 8 oz container fresh oysters
· 1-2 fresh or frozen squid, whole
· 1 package frozen sea urchin cubes
· 1 12 oz package artemia (brine shrimp, frozen), thawed
· 6 types of dried seaweed Nori, Wakame, Hijiki, Dulse, Ano, etc.) - available at Whole Foods market, health food stores, Asian markets.
· about 2 g. powdered sea greens/antioxidants or immune boost complex
· 2 tbsp. marine flake
· 2 tbsp. VibraGro
· 2 tbsp. powdered spirulina
· 1 tbsp Super Selco
Optional (found frozen in Asian markets)
· ark shells
· periwinkles, etc...
Method
· Blend coarse ingredients in food processor
· Mix in fine ingredients (Artemia, powders, flake, Selco)
· Freeze in flats
This makes a LOT of food...approximately 10-12 quart size Ziploc flats.
OPTIONAL: I also make a pigment complex of multiple fresh and health food purchased pigmented animal and plant sources ( such as vegetables with rich colors, carotenoids, etc), mixed with some of the fish food, liquefied, and fed to corals at night.
