Today it was 'cooking for my fishies' time :-)

Last week I bought a fresh seafood pack at the market then froze it for a few days to kill pathogens. I unfroze it in the fridge from yesterday to today, and tonight ground it to a paste with some Cyclop-eeze, nori and some gelatin.

Pictures of the 'cooking':


My kid helping me press it into a thin sheet for freezing:




We gave the fish a little to see their reaction.... they weren't too enthusiastic for the first minute but then we gradully saw all of them eating it so I guess they liked it. Gotta watch the skimer and nitrates now to see if the portion we gave (small but maybe too much, roughly 1/8 tsp) will affect water quality.

    Was the wine "Red" or "White"

    (a local group do this, and they press the food in a cookie sheet with a section of egg crate on it. then after its frozen, they rack it like an ice tray and pop the cubes out. then its ready to feed and you get a even feed every time. Just a thought)

    Wine was red, but only the head chef got a sip, fishies all under 18 :-D (no wine for the little sous chef either :-) but I think he'd be more interested in chocolate milk than wine:-D )

    That sounds like a good idea! I thought about using a mini ice cube tray but couldn't find one in the supermarket's plastics section. They sometimes carry one that makes very small ice cubes.
