+1 - Same here... I made the last batch that wasn't chopped fine enough, I ground it in my meat grinder frozen and it's nice and easy to use as it's almost like a coarse sand and easy to break off.

So far I have only used the zip lock back rolled flat method .
next time I am going to try the ice cube trays you can get for small RV fridges.
these make a cube that is less than half regular size and should be just about perfect for my needs.
We shall see
here is what I am talking about

I use these:



As Michika has already suggested, they are Ikea silicone ice cube trays. I like them because they are flexible so they can easily sit pretty much anything in the freezer. The fish food/mush is typically thick enough that it doesn't dribble all over the place. It's easy to extract the portions and each cube is the shape of a fishy!!

I don't have enough fish right now to use larger units

I can't find an icecube tray with small enough units

I've heard of some peeps using eggcrate and I'll try that if need be

What other ideas are out there ?

Thanks for any input

Hey Greg I have some spare small mini fridge ice trays that I use for making food. Your welcome to a couple. Cheers Laurie

When I used to make food all the time I would have an entire freezer compartment filled with trays upon trays of food.

For a long time I did use the flat pressed ziplock bag, but I found the quality of the bags is diminishing and I had more and more leaks, blowouts, and seam failures until I had to just say enough is enough. Also ziplock doesn't contain the smell very well.

If I use ice cube trays how do I stop freezer burn?

My plan is to vacuum pack everything after they're frozen and just use a handful at a time, kept in a ziploc
