Are there any vegetables/fruit I can use as a supplement to my Oscar’s diet?

I know I asked approx. 5 hrs ago but I got 1 answer I wasn’t satisfied with.
Anyways, I currantly feed my oscar cichlid pellets as a staple. Along with that he will get a variety of frozen, freeze dried, and live food. All of which are meaty. I do not feed him feeder fish. The only non-meaty supplement he gets an algae wafer that I steal from my mom’s fish. Is there any other non-meaty supplement that I can offer him?
Thanks for the suggestion of fish flakes, but he is already getting his pellets. I was thinking of something that isn’t processed.
I’ll try the peas and cucumbers. Actually my dad grows cucumbers in the backyard so he’ll get them really fresh. =)
Also, for my Oscar, if I were to throw something into his tank, and if it were to fit in his mouth, then chances are it’s going in his mouth and in most cases not coming out.
He gets 1 or 2 crickets a week already. I consider those to be “meaty”. Thanks for the input anyways.
