I saw a thing on youtube showing a 5lb bag of mixed frozen seafood for like $12 from Sam's Club. The guy basically used this with some high quality fish pellets to make sure the fish are getting anything not provided by the frozen stuff. He put it all in an old food processor and ground it up until it was chunky and then froze it in ziploc bags laying flat so they stacked well.

Yep. I use both predone and supplements, but most meaty stuff is from my food. I again use fresh, no frozen. Usually consists of a white ocean fish, scallops, squid, oysters, clam, shrimp, and seaweed along with whatever may be laying around from freeze dried perspective or flakes sometimes.

I just did it for the first time about 2 months ago. I blended 1/2 of a small bag of frozen mixed seafood from an asian market, it contained shrimp, octopus, squid, scallops, cooked mussels, and possibly some other stuff, I don't remember exactly. I picked out and didn't use the mussels since they were cooked, the rest was raw. I chopped it by hand first then blended it with some RODI, a sheet or two of nori, a finely minced fresh clove of garlic and some Prime Reef flake food. Stuck it in a ziplock freezer bag, flattened it out and froze it into a big square patty about 1/4" thick. the next day i took it out and chopped it into squares about 1/4 cu". The fish LOVE it! The next time make more (which may be a while because it's lasting so long) I might see if there are any beneficial supplements I can add to it to make it even healthier. Maybe some amino acids or something...
