Sourcing fishmeal for hydrolysate production

Sourcing fishmeal for hydrolysate production
Hi All,
Does anyone have thoughts/tips on where to source fishmeal, fish frames etc for producing hydrolysates? We’re hoping to start with a 200L ferment, so we’ll need about 80kg to get started.
Thanks
Dan

Hi Daniel
There is a Facebook page ‘Free Fish Frames and Heads’ in Perth where fishos can donate their frames for people who can make better use of them.
Or you can buy a 20 kg box for $100 sold as cray bait from https://www.dogfoodperth.com.au/product-page/bait-fish-frames-crayfishing
Locally, you could try the Augusta Seafoods 615 Brindley Street, Augusta. They might have some waste frames for you.
Cheers

Hello
WA Bait in O’Connor do a seconds mullies trap bait. They are a whole soft fish so better than heads in terms of quality. They are mullies that have gone on the floor and may have metal in the mix so not good to go through a mincer. That said they break down well in a barrel of hydrolysate. They are between $2-3 /kg for 20kg boxes. 08 9314 1755
I recon 200 litre drums are much easier to handle, remove liquid and clean compared to 1,000 lt pods.
good luck.

Frames with heads can be purchased from fresh fish shop in Augusta for about $2.00/k bulk. The supplier Brett suggested has a truck visiting Busselton regularly on a Wednesday.
