Porcupine Fish Foods: Is blanched ok ?

Post by Nickdavey126 »

Hi, I just bought a sea food mix from the store containing blanched octopus, squid, and squid rings. I then noticed it says that these items were blanched. I understand cooked items should not be fed (correct if I’m wrong) , but is blanched ok ? From my understanding blanched is when a food item is boiled for a bit of time but not actually cooked. Do you think this would be ok to feed to a Porcupine Fish ? Any advice would be greatly accepted , thank you ! 🐡 :D

I would think that would "cook" the food. Does it say ready for human consumption?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

It does not , and there are clams in the package and it states that those are cooked (won’t be using) while the Octopus, Squid , and Squid rings were blanched. I will also note that it does not state that any other ingredients were used in the seafood mix.

LOL, well I may just stick on the safe side and use this mix as treats for the turtles instead.
