selcon, garlic, and frozen homemade food

Should I use selcon on food before I freeze it or after its thawed? Also, if I use a garlic press to squeeze juice, how much should I use on the thawed food? (I know I should not freeze the garlic). Thanks.

After its thawed soak it in it for a minute. And you just want enough juice to saturate the food. The rest will be released into your water column which isnt a bad thing but not all the time. I usually soak the food and then pour out any liquid thats left.

I thaw and drain my home-brew; then soak in a bit of selcon or garlic. My fish seem to like selcon, so I don't use both on the same batch of thawed food. But, whatever works to get all the good stuff into the fish and as little crud from thawing into the water works. I don't have a reef now, and what I consider "crud" may be good stuff, I'll let others decide.

Thanks. By the way, how fine should I chop/blend/puree the seafood? I'm using shrimp, squid, scallops, and clam. (Shoot, I'm getting hungry myself!).
