How To Keep Aquatic Products Fresh

Fish must be quickly chilled after being caught, otherwise they will spoil within a few hours. If the weather is hot and they are not refrigerated at a certain low temperature during transportation, they are more likely to spoil. It can be said that it is not easy to keep fish fresh, so we cannot ignore the key role of ice in cooling, preserving and extending the shelf life of aquatic products.

Of course! Keeping seafood fresh is essential to maintaining its quality and safety. Here are some effective ways to ensure seafood freshness:

Application of Ice blocks

Reducing temperature and controlling bacterial growth: In the processing of aquatic products, ice blocks are used to reduce the temperature of the processing medium, clean the aquatic products, and prevent the growth of bacteria, which helps to maintain the freshness and quality of the aquatic products.

Cooling and long-distance transportation: During ocean fishing and long-distance transportation of aquatic products, ice is used to keep aquatic products at low temperatures to prevent the temperature from rising, causing a decrease in freshness and bacterial growth.

Market and retail display: In supermarkets and markets, ice is used in the display and packaging of aquatic products to maintain a low temperature environment and freshness of aquatic products.

Ice Block Selection

Flake ice: Flake ice is another good choice. It is an irregular dry flake ice. It is widely used in cooling and preserving aquatic products because of its fast ice making, softness without sharp edges (not easy to pierce frozen items), dry texture, and large contact area. Combined with ice storage, the refrigeration efficiency is even better!

Tube ice: Tube ice is a hollow cylindrical tube-shaped ice cube. In addition to being widely used as edible ice, it can also be used to preserve aquatic products. It is widely used at home and abroad because of its crystal clearness, long storage period, and strong melting resistance (3 times higher than ordinary ice cubes).

Ice blocks: It is a large ice block that is commonly used in the seafood industry because of its large size and strong cold storage. It can provide continuous cooling effect. Place ice blocks around aquatic products to keep them cold. Or crush them into crushed ice for easier storage and transportation. At the same time, block ice can be cut into different shapes and sizes according to needs to meet the needs of different processing links of aquatic products.

By following these methods, you can effectively preserve the freshness of your seafood and ensure that they remain safe and high quality for consumption.
