Those that make frozen food

[paphater]

For those of you that make frozen food, what sort of storage life are you getting? From google, it looks like lean fish will only keep for six months? I need to figure out how big of a batch to make.

Well you can call it i make my own food but technically all I do is mix bribe shrimp 20% mysis 70% and nori 10% cut in small bite size pieces. Thaw portions in a bowl just enough to mix well along with little bit of garlic paste then I scoop them in Shallow ice trays. I make about two to three trays at a time. I use one Ice Cube per day which pretty much feeds 3 times a day.
I noticed after few days the top of the Ice Cube starts to get dry so what I do is after the cubes have Frozen I pour a little bit of RO water on top of it so it gets an extra layer a freezing water on top and it does not dry out the shrimp underneath.
Three trays will last me about 2 months. But I'm sure it can last six seven months easily.
Flat packs that I buy bacon last in the freezer for atleast 1 yr once opened.
