FarmerTy Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just for the sake of things getting lost in my bottomless pit of a build thread, I thought I would copy this post to the main forum for all to make use of it if they wanted. I've been interested in pursuing some food options at the MT supermarket (Asian market) after seeing freezers and fridges full of various sea creatures of all origins. Frozen sea cucumbers, gobies, eels, snails, crabs, fish, octopus, and squids to name a few.I've been researching masago (capelin eggs) used for sushi. They had a pound of masago for $9 at the MT supermarket and I couldn't pass that up.It has sugar, food coloring, salt, sorbitol (sugar alcohol), and msg (monosodium glutamate). I went ahead and soaked it 3 times to remove most of the sugar, salt, and food coloring.Look at that food coloring running off!Now this is the real color of the eggs... not that crazy neon orange stuff we eat on our sushi!It was gladly accepted by most of the fish and a couple didn't take it and were generally confused by it. I put some in the main tank for the regal but couldn't see if he ate any.Anyway, thought I would share how you could buy 1 lb of fish eggs for under $10. Good ole' Asian markets!

+olaggie01 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Interesting. How long will they last? Frozen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 You got me ol Aggie. I froze them so I'll probably throw them out in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Nice! I have a little baggy of that from Rods Food, which he probably just transferred straight from a package just like that into a small bad and sold for 10x the cost. They're still readily accepted by the fish a year later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 In that case, I have some Ty's Food to sell you... high dollar masago... hand collected from the fish myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
