A method of preparing a crustacean bait cake, comprising the steps of:
- a. in a first container, stirring between 100 g and 750 g of animal collagen granules into a first aliquot of between 60 ml and 600 ml of water at or below room temperature, and letting the mixture sit until the granules have absorbed all of the water;
- b. heating the collagen granules at a temperature of between 43 and 60 degrees Celsius until the granules are fully dissolved into a collagen paste;
- c. in a second container, stirring between 5.7 g and 227 g of gelatin into a second aliquot of between 60 ml and 600 ml of water having a temperature of between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius until the gelatin has absorbed all of the water;
- d. fully dissolving the gelatin into the collagen paste to form a collagen gelatin mixture;
- e. in a third container, completely kneading between 118 ml and 591 ml of fish oil into between 284 g and 1.14 kg of fish meal to form a fish paste;
- f. mixing the collagen gelatin mixture with the fish paste to produce a bait mixture;
- g. molding the bait mixture into a cylindrical shape;
- h. cooling the bait mixture for at least 30 minutes to form crustacean bait cakes;
