I don't see any benefit in feeding this type of food to your fish. High-protein foods can be beneficial if you are trying to grow the young fish but there is not much nutritional content for adult fish, unless you are purchasing foods such as beef heart which has been formulated for fish, this often contains vitamins and nutrients.

Your fish will appreciate a nice juicy worm a lot more than a piece of chicken, nice tasty snack full of nutrients, mind you, I would prefer the chicken

Fish do not process saturated fat very well. Foods containing high saturated fats can actually cause fatty liver disease which is often fatal. I have put a beef heart recipe on the website, but it's not a food I would ever feed to my fish.

Ever wondered why a lot of Carp have got huge stomachs? Purely because anglers are using baits that contain high saturated fats. Having excessive fat around the stomach can lead to liver disease. The amount of artificial baits that gets piled into fishing lakes is just ridiculous. It's no wonder a lot of them are grossly obese, not good for them at all.

my female oscar died when my son feed it with chicken giblets... constipation.
but for chicken breast, as long as you remove the skin and tendon, it will be
fine. but i prefer to take the fried breast chicken than feed it to my oscar.
