Maybe something is eating it in the 55?

Who knows, the perams are both the same.

If your coming to Florida, I better get to diving!

Martha Stewart jello shooter trays?

I wonder about those huge Scallops we see at the market. I understand they are not really scallops but punched out of rays & shark . Regardless the fish like it & it acts as a binder to hold the mush together. I have used geliton but these "Sea Scallops & shrimp seem to work just as well.

Well last night I made another batch of "Mush". Here are a couple of pics of the "Mini-Ice Cube Trays" with mush packed into them. I'll give an update on how it worked tonight maybe.

On counter ready to go

I love lean cuisine pizza!

Woodstock · 03-03-2008, 12:16 PM

Looks good! Did you just stir in the mysids shrimp?

Octoman · 03-03-2008, 01:05 PM

Lean cuisines, ww meals, and fish food - did you take that picture in my Freezer?

I made some mush, I did it in the flat pack. I like using the flat pieces because they thaw fast and it's very easy to break off. My mush is definitely "fish approved"!!

I am so happy to see this thread! I will be making my own batch later this week. But in the mean time.. thanks everyone for getting me sidetracked from work, checking out the cool...shot glass ice molds!

No I mixed it all into the mush ... well I guess I sort of stirred it in... I mixed them in with the "liquid" stuff and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before adding the Cyclopeeze and "blended Deli Shrimp" into the mix. They just seemed to "separate" from the rest for some reason. I'm still perfecting my method! It gets better, easier and quicker each time.

I can't believe I didn't look closer before posting that pic! My wife is gonna give me heck for that freezer shot

Oh well!!

I did my last batch "Flat" but I'm trying to make it as "touchless" as possible. I'm fortunate to get a lot of "Weekend" out of towns and wife would rather not have to "cut & break" pieces off. It's so much easier to have it pre-divided and just drop & go.
