I love feeding my fish brine shrimp and with my powerful filter it shoots it down one end of the tank and then with the power coming back it goes round in circles till it is totally gone.
The other night I gave my fish a whole raw shrimp that I had shredded into smaller pieces. They loved it! They picked on it all day. I have cardinals, balas, rainbows, harlequins, rummy noses and a pearl gourami. Is this something I could do on a regular basis?
Occasionaly right before I clean my tanks I give them a big explosion of frozen brine shrimp. Lots of it. the fish go mad eating it. Even my peppered cory goes swimming in the water column eating away.
Then after an hour I do a big water change and follow this with a fasting day. Not too much for the poor fishies.
I also occasionaly put a little piece of my frozen salmon on some thread and dangle it in my betta tank. He likes to flare at it for awhile then go picking at it. Funny to watch.
But generally it is flakes and pellets in the tanks.

*i* like tater-tots, but you should probably add some things like hot pockets and pizza to the list just for variety. 
for the fish, i have the little san fran bay buttons...... bloodworms seem to be best all around. brine shrimp a close second, but they don't seem to have much mass. i also have beefheart for the cats and oscar.
the little cloud of brine shrimp when the button melts.... in a tank of fry........ it's something to watch.
edit: i forgot the stouffers frozen lasagna..... for "fake" it's pretty darn good!

I put some tank water in a small plastic up and then use a popsicle stick to dig out a few frozen brine shrimp from the package and put them in the cup and twirl the water around. Fifteen minutes later the shrimp are up to temperature and I twirl them around again just prior to dumping them in the tank so that none of them stick in the cup.
