A Substantial Catch from Pran Buri 💪🏽
Today, we brought in a significant catch from the waters off Pran Buri. It was a Cobia weighing in at 41.5kg. This size of Cobia is quite impressive and a testament to the rich fishing grounds we work with. 💪🏾
The waters off Pran Buri, located about 20 minutes by car from Hua Hin, continue to provide us with strong catches. My role involves actively being on the ground, ensuring the fish are handled correctly from the moment they are landed. It’s hard work, but seeing these results makes it all worthwhile. 💪🏿
From Boat to Facility: Speed is Key
The journey of this Cobia from the sea to our processing facility is a critical part of our operation. After the fisherman caught this impressive Cobia, it was immediately put on ice while still on the boat. This initial step is crucial for maintaining its condition.
We purchased the fish at the port and immediately transported it to our facility. The entire process, from the moment of purchase to our arrival at the processing plant, took less than 10 minutes. This speed is non-negotiable for us.
Processing and Freezing: Our Standard Procedure
Once at the facility, the Cobia was processed into sashimi fillets. This is followed by vacuum packing and then immediate blast freezing. Our standard procedure ensures that the fish reaches a temperature of -30℃ very quickly after processing.
Specifically, this Cobia was blast-frozen within 90 minutes of landing. The freezing temperature in our equipment ranges from -30℃ to -60℃. This rapid freezing locks in the condition of the fish, preserving its characteristics.
Traceability: Our Commitment to Transparency
Every step of the handling process is logged. We record the time of purchase, the time of arrival at the facility, and the time of freezing. This data is vital for traceability, allowing us to track each fish from its origin.
Being involved in the physical labor and managing these records myself gives me a clear understanding of the entire chain. It’s about proving the quality through diligent record-keeping, not just making claims. We are on the ground, doing the work.
The Pran Buri Advantage
Working in Pran Buri, about 20 minutes by car from Hua Hin, offers us direct access to a vibrant fishing community and rich waters. The location allows for swift logistics, which is paramount for our business model.
I am constantly learning and improving my skills in processing and handling under the guidance of senior team members. This hands-on experience is invaluable. The physical demands are high, but it’s a core part of what we do at GYOTAK. We are the muscle behind the operation! 💪
