    We've tried giving Mac canned sardines (in spring water, nothing added) but he wouldn't touch them.

    He does however love most fish & seafood:
    salmon
    tilapia
    trout
    chilean sea bass
    uncooked de-shelled shrimp (i think he would eat shell on shrimp no problem, but we buy de-shelled for us so thats what he gets).
    octopus (only fed a few times)
    king crab (only fed a few times)

    The only seafood that we have tried thus far [other than the canned sardines] that he didn't like was tuna --he refuses to touch it, both canned in spring water, and fresh sushi-grade.

    We usually buy fish fillets from the grocery store, cut them into big strips about the same size as the whole-prey items he eats, and then freeze. This makes up about 40% of his diet. I've found that cutting them to the right size encourages more eating... sometimes he gets irritated after having to take 20 small individual bites of food.
