Go to a Korean grocery store and buy the dried shrimp they sell for human consumption. My wife's two porcupine puffers & the niger trigger I got from GreenSpottedPuffer all love it and its very economical.

A couple of thoughts about this. If Triggers don't eat red meat in the wild, their metabolism may not be suited to digest red meat which contains different sorts of fat than seafood does. This could lead to metabolic problems/illness which could shorten the life of the Trigger.
The other thought is that if they get used to the taste of red meat, watch out next time your hands are in the tank.

Stick to the general rule:
Feed freshwater foods to freshwater fish, marine-based foods to marine fish. There are some exceptions to the rule and sometimes a "snack" of blood worms or something alike to marine fish is acceptable, but you can't go wrong attempting to feed your fishies things that they would eat in the wild. So I probably would stay away from meats.  -Diana

The Moose meat still just baffles me
 The last time I checked, Moose were not migrating down to Indonesia or Australia and falling into the ocean for triggers to eat.

I feed my porcupine puffer a "puffer chow" meal I make in the blender. Its squid, clams, mussels, cuttlefish, prawns and other types of mollusks and shellfish. I blend it with garlic, freeze it, and cut it into cubes. Puffers are so messy when they eat that the frozen cubes don't make as much mess. My Picasso trigger loves it too.
The only red meat my puffer got was my finger tip... I was teasong him at the top of the tank and thought it was food.
