Food question...

Hey Jay,

I have never tried his but I make my own quite a bit.

There are 2 different formulas depending on if you have more plant eaters or if you have more meat eaters.

I think the club is going to have some food making meetings in the near future.

 

both

 

anyone out there have some guides/recipes?

 

Here is what I usually do.
Fresh shrimp (can be frozen, make sure it is uncooked & does not have any additives)
Fresh oysters (usually about $7 for a quart at walmart)
Any other fresh seafood they may have. Dont rinse the blood off or skin.
then some frozen Mysid shrimp (they are very high in fish oils, lipids, & omega somehing & beta something that is really good for them)
Then depending on costs I will look for some oyster eggs & frozen brine shrimp.
cyclopeeze is a must
golden pearls if you can find them reasonably priced
some phytoplankton
selcon
GARLIC
If I can find it reasonable I also buy some fish oil & other basic vitamens from the health store & mix in.
I usually puree it & let it sit for a couple hours for the vitamins & minerals to soak in really good.
Then I usually mix in some prime reef flake food.
I have wanted to grab a salmon steak or fresh tuna but never have.
Then I split it in half.
The first half I bag up in large ziplocks & lay flat so it is less then a half inch thick & freeze.
Then I take
Romain lettuce
carrots
brocoli
cucumbers
spirulina
spinich
nori
Blend them up & mix it with the remaining half & put in baggies the same way as the other.
Some people add pure gelatin to make it a better consistancy but I have never tried that

 

I talked to Chef Jim at Hy-Vee and he said there's a fish market in Waterloo. That was just yesterday, I haven't tried to find it on Google yet. I was asking him about finding fresh/uncooked mackeral and he told me about it. Also, I have a big bottle of liquid fish oil I can donate to our area when we make our fish food later on this month. I couldn't find any plain liquid form, but I have it in liquid softgells. I'll do some reading after work and add anything I think we could use in it. I think we could get some phyto-plan and zoo-plan in the mix, I'll have more ideas later tonight.

 

Heck no I just throw as much in as I have.

I do buy fresh cloves & grind it up as much as I can & put it in.
