After reading a few recipes, I thought i would make my own beef hear mix.
i was thinking of adding some beef kidney to my mix...

I found this info online


Beef kidneys are included within the group of edible organ meats obtained from beef cattle. While not commonly eaten in the United States, much of the world considers them a delicacy, according to the "New York Times." Beef kidneys can be served alone, usually rare or incorporated into other dishes, such as kidney stew or steak and kidney pie, where they provide several important dietary nutrients.

Contents
A 3 oz. serving of beef kidneys weighs 85 g. Around 23 g of this amount is protein. Kidneys are low in fat, with just 4 g or 6 percent of the amount of dietary fat recommended for each day within one serving, with around 1/4 of that amount being saturated fat. The rest of that serving is made of other nutrients and water. Beef kidneys contain no appreciable amount of carbohydrates.

There are around 135 calories in a 3 oz. serving of beef kidneys. Approximately 25 percent of those calories, or 36 calories total, come from fat. Protein makes up around 99 calories in a 3 oz. serving of kidneys.

Vitamins
Beef kidneys are also a good source of several important vitamins. A single 3 oz. serving contains 21 mcg of vitamin B12 at over 800 percent and 2.5 mg of riboflavin at nearly 200 percent of the required daily amount for the average adult. Other vitamins in lower quantities include 1.3 mg of pantothenic acid at 26 percent, 3.3 mg of niacin for 22 percent, 0.3 mg of vitamin B6 at around 20 percent and 70 mcg of folate at almost 18 percent.

Minerals
You can also obtain several essential minerals from eating beef kidneys. These include 143 mcg of selenium for over 250 percent, about 5 mg of iron for 50 percent, 500 mcg of copper at over 50 percent, 258 mg of phosphorus for over 36 percent and 2.4 mg of zinc delivering around 25 percent of what an average adult needs each day. Smaller quantities of other minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and manganese, are also available in beef kidneys.

Other Information
A 3 oz. serving of cooked beef kidneys is particularly high in cholesterol, delivering around 600 mg or around 200 percent of the daily recommended amount. There is no significant fiber in beef kidneys.


Has any one ever added kidney to there mix ??

If so some feed back would be much appreciated

Hi Nathan, I've used beef liver in my beef heart mix, but never kidney.

I remember eating steak and kidney pie as a kid. Never liked it much, because kidney has a very strong taste.

I think the flavour might be too strong for your fish. Give it a try if you like, but only make up a very small amount in case your fish reject it.

My fish are partial to brains and bacon, reckon the mashed spuds would cloud the water.

6 large carrots cooked and cut very fine
1/2 cup of frozen peas
