At Mariscos Apolo, we know the importance of controlling the quality of our products. It is essential to know the factors that influence the quality of frozen fish to enjoy the best flavor.
To achieve this quality, the process from fishing, through freezing to sale, is very important. We explain some factors that influence the quality of frozen fish in this post.
Fish selection
The control of the product to be frozen is one of the first factors to be taken into account. Good fishing is key, so the selection and control process during fishing is important for better quality.
If this process is not completely good or is not done as it should be, no matter how good the freezing process is, the fish will not be of good quality. At Mariscos Apolo we import fish from the best fishing grounds in the world for the best sea flavor and high quality.
Freezing speed and method
Once the fishing has been done in the best way, it is time for freezing. The shorter the time between catching and freezing, the better many of its properties and nutrients can be preserved.
During the freezing process, the development of bacteria and microorganisms that alter the properties of the fish is interrupted, which prevents it from disintegrating and spoiling. The different freezing methods are key to know, depending on the product, which freezing should be carried out and for how long it should be frozen.
Packaging and storage
Frozen fish usually goes through several stages and that is why packaging and storage are so important. Perfect packaging means avoiding risks and keeping the product in good condition. In Mariscos Apolo’s factories, we have several specialized machines for the packaging of our products.
Frozen fish must be kept between 18 and 25 degrees below zero and avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent the product from spoiling. This is important for both suppliers and frozen fish factories as well as for consumers at home.
Frozen fish, the best alternative
Fresh fish is always the first choice of purchase for many of us, but frozen fish is a great alternative and contains a wealth of benefits. To save money, to always have it available, for safety or for time, frozen fish is a great option.
