Might be an old chestnut but I would suggest there isn't anything better than feeding what mother nature feeds as much as is reasonably possible. You will have to put your own definition on reasonable there.

I buy live mussels from Morrisons along with frozen in the shell clams and frozen scallops. I have just been in Morrisons and picked up a bag a fresh mussels reduced to £1-60p about $2 of your funny money and dropped them straight in the freezer. These will last me a few months.

I feed other fresh foods that I buy from the fish market I freeze including fish roe cockle squid shrimp and prawn. I hardly ever feed flake or pellets.

I also cultivate pods outdoors in the Sumner and brine shrimp in the winter.

I basically feed my tank exclusively seafood that I buy from the grocery store. I use a food processor to blend it all together and freeze into little cubes. My fish get a good variety because I use different types of seafood based on what is available from the store, and it’s cheaper than buying the normal fish foods.
 
Yep that’s the way to do it I go to the beech at low tide and get mussels
