wat makes you say that?

OP, your instinct was right. garbage. Marine feed goes rancid very fast at room temperature. In fact, some protein in dead marine crustaceans are actually autolytic upon death which would vastly speed up the process. If you aren't using the food within 3 hours or less, it will have gone rancid; fish flesh would last longer but I wouldn't use it after 5 hours. Never refreeze thawed food. This is according to a frozen food analysis done for the Vancouver Aquarium a while back.
