Catch Details from Pran Buri
Today, the waters off Pran Buri yielded a significant catch. I brought in 12kg of Talang Queenfish. This species has firm flesh. I also secured 26kg of Indian Threadfish. This fish has a distinct appearance. The catch also included 9kg of Longrakered Trevally. This trevally has a unique fin structure. Finally, I landed 16kg of Longfin Trevally. This brings the total weight of this specific haul to 63kg.
I was at the port in Pran Buri, a town about 20 minutes by car from Hua Hin. I personally inspected the fish as they were brought in. The total weight of this particular catch was 63kg, consisting of the four species listed.
Handling the Catch: Speed and Precision
The efficiency of my process begins the moment the fish are landed. My aim is to minimize the time between the fish leaving the water and entering my blast freezer. This rapid handling is key to preserving the condition of the fish. I recorded the weight of each species as it was brought ashore.
The Journey from Sea to Facility
After catch, the fisherman ice-stuns on the boat. Port purchase occurs quickly. Within 10 minutes of purchase at the port, I arrive at the processing facility, cut into sashimi fillets, vacuum-pack, and blast-freeze. This immediate processing is crucial. It ensures the fish are preserved at their peak condition. My facility in Pran Buri is set up for this rapid turnaround.
Processing Standards
Once at the facility, the fish are immediately processed. They are cut into sashimi fillets. This is followed by vacuum packing. The final step is blast freezing. I use freezers that reach temperatures between -30℃ and -60℃. This rapid freezing process locks in the condition of the fish. I documented the processing stages for each batch.
Confirmation and Records
I confirm the weight and condition of each fish upon purchase at the port. I photographed the Talang Queenfish, Indian Threadfish, Longrakered Trevally, and Longfin Trevally at the landing site. Further records are kept at the processing facility. The entire process, from landing to freezing, is managed to maintain the integrity of the catch.
My Perspective from Pran Buri
This operation in Pran Buri is built on my direct involvement. I am present at the port and the processing facility. My focus is on the factual record of each catch. The data I collect, from weights to processing times, provides a clear picture of the fish's journey. It is my role to ensure these records are accurate and transparent. The ability to provide this level of detail is what GYOTAK stands for.
