    I use the grinder attachment on my daughters Kitchen Aid mixer.
    She's not crazy about me using it for fish food but it does a real good job.

    I use a hand crank Weston Model #10 that I bought at Wal-Mart for < $30. It comes with 3/16" and a 3/8" plates, but I prefer smaller 'chunks' for feeding to juvies, so I purchased a 3mm (1/8') plate from the manufacturer. I make 3 to 5 lbs of mix at a time. However, I only make 2 or 3 batches a year, so using the hand crank isn't too much of a problem. If I had to make a 5 lb batch or more every month, ... LOL! ... or if I was flush with cash, I'd definitely get an electric model.

    I use a meat grinder for all the meat, fish, shrimp, mussels, clams and then I use a food processor for all the extras (veggies, vitamins, etc)

    I think I read in one of Barbs Sticky posts about using a salad shooter.

    I am heading to my parents tomorrow to pick up like 15 free beef hearts. I have a Kitchen Aide grinder.
