I came across a thread a while back about a frozen mixed seafood brand but I can’t remember what it’s called and I can’t find it . Anyone? It had all kinds in there. Shrimp. Squid. Clams... R2R to the rescue!!!
What’s that frozen food called?

All of the above, yep. LRS reef frenzy is what I use, it has everything you mentioned I think, but here is a link to all their "blends" ... hope one sparks the memory.

I use ocean nutrition and LRS. They’re a bit different but fish like them both the same.

BRS is a US company and, due to regulations, they don’t ship frozen food items to Canada 
I found a brand I can get. Hikari. They offer a good blend too. Now to find a local supplier...

You can make your own food as well. It’s quite cheap really. I go to a fish market and get clams and mix in a little nori. The fish and corals love it.BRS is a US company and, due to regulations, they don’t ship frozen food items to Canada

LRS does have distributors in Canada, check their map to see if anyone is near you or will ship to you.

I live in Hong Kong and I was able to get LRS here. It was a bit expensive but it is a lot of food and lasts a long time.

Hikari works. I’ve used their frozen before.

In the arena.
A couple of things about LRS. While I do also feed San Francisco Bay mysis and brine (alternate each day) I include reef frenzy in each feeding. LRS has an interesting mix that goes beyond the fish meat. I'm in the camp with @Paul B about the importance of gut bacteria (aka probiotics) that help fish develop and maintain a healthy immune system. The liquid in these foods are also a source of nutrition for the tiny polyp corals. (I also add Reef Nutrition ROE for my mandarin, another food that my corals love).
Below is the LRS Reef Frenzy ingredient list for comparison.
On that note, +1 on making your own food if clams and or oysters (gut bacteria) aren't available to you in a frozen food. You can keep it simple by blending up the mollusks with some additives (zooplankton, rotifers, algae etc many of which come in powder form) as a supplement to commercially available frozen food that lacks the clams and additives.
LRS Reef Frenzy ingredients:
Fresh Wild Caught Scallop
Fresh Wild Caught, Hand Peeled Shrimp
Fresh Wild Caught Perch and Whitefish
Premium Piscine Energetics Mysis Shrimp
Squid
E. pacifica Krill
Fresh Shucked Oysters and Clams
Zooplankton and Rotifers
Oyster Eggs and Ovarian Tissue
Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Buffered Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C to delay oxidation)
D. salina Algae containing beta carotene
LRS Probiotics
here is the Hikari Reef Riot Carnivore Ingredient list for comparison
Oyster, scallop, krill, Canadian Mysis Shrimp (Freshwater Mysis relicta), ocean plankton, brine shrimp, shrimp, squid, cyclopods, red shrimp, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, carotene, pyridoxine hydrochloride, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphoshate (stabilized vitamin C), riboflavin, thiamine mononitrate, biotin, choline chloride, folic acid, calcium pantothenate, inositol, niacin, calcium chloride, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, magnesium carbonate, zinc sulfate.
Fwiw, since I have gone to this feeding routine (frozen cubes along with LRS and ROE, turn off pumps for 10 minutes, then powerheads on for 10 minutes before sump pumps return) my corals (mixed of sps, lps softies etc) have perked up and the nuisance algae/bacteria has dissipated.
PS on the LRS site they have a link on the probiotics. Test results show that the live bacteria survives the freezing process. I presume this would apply to the DIY home food; bend up your own mix and freeze in ice cube trays and the bacteria should survive through thawing and feeding.
