What is fish blast freezing?

Fish blast freezing is a process of rapidly cooling the product to a temperature below -30°C within a short period of time. This method preserves the structure of fish cells by preventing the formation of large ice crystals that can damage the product’s tissue.

As a result, the fish retains its taste, nutritional value, and appearance.

Types of fish suitable for blast freezing: salmon, tuna, cod, flounder, sea bass, mackerel, trout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can different types of fish and seafood be frozen in the same container?

Different types of fish and seafood may be frozen in a single blast freezer container, provided they have the same temperature requirements, are placed separately, use airtight packaging, and raw and prepared products do not come into contact to prevent cross-contamination.

What are the sanitation requirements for the container after processing fish?

After each freezing cycle, the container must be completely cleaned of organic fish residues, washed, and, if necessary, all internal surfaces must be treated with specialized disinfecting agents.

How to choose a blast freezing container for a fish processing facility?

When selecting a container, consider the daily processing volume, required capacity, and size type (Standard, High Cube, 10, 20, or 40 feet). Attention should also be paid to the refrigeration unit's specifications: temperature range, compressor type, and power consumption.

How to properly package fish before blast freezing?

For proper blast freezing, the fish must be cleaned, gutted, and thoroughly dried. The fish should then be sealed using a vacuum method or thick polyethylene freezer packaging to prevent moisture loss and the spread of odors.

Is the equipment suitable for seasonal catch processing?

Yes, blast freezing containers are ideally suited for large-volume seasonal catch processing directly at storage or primary processing sites, preserving product quality until further transport or sale.
