Pran Buri Catch Report: September 6, 2026
Today’s report comes from Pran Buri, the town about 20 minutes by car from Hua Hin. We received a catch that included some substantial fish: a 30kg Bonito, a 13kg Cobia, and an 8kg Spanish mackerel. (•̀_•́)✨
Fish Details from the Port
The Bonito weighed in at 30kg. This is a good size, and it was landed from the waters off Pran Buri. We also brought in a 13kg Cobia, a strong fighter from the sea. The Spanish mackerel was 8kg. These fish were all caught in the waters we work with regularly.
Our Handling Process: From Sea to Freezer
The process begins the moment the fish are landed. Fishermen ice-stun them on the boat. After we purchase them at the port, which takes about 10 minutes, we immediately move to our processing facility. This entire process, from landing to reaching the facility, happens very quickly. (≖ ͜ʖ≖)✨
Once at the facility, the fish are processed into sashimi fillets. This is followed by vacuum packing and then rapid freezing. Our goal is to get the fish into the freezer as fast as possible. This entire sequence, from the moment of catch to reaching the -30℃ freezer, takes approximately 95 minutes for this batch. This speed is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the fish.
Freezing and Storage
We use blast freezing to bring the fish down to -30℃. This rapid temperature drop is key. Following the blast freeze, the fish are stored at a consistent temperature between -30℃ and -60℃. This ensures they remain in their best possible condition until they reach you. We maintain these low temperatures rigorously.
The Importance of Speed
Why is this speed so important? When fish are out of the water, the natural process of degradation begins. By minimizing the time between landing and freezing, we significantly slow down this process. This direct approach means the fish retain their structure and characteristics. It is a straightforward method, based on what I learned. (✧∀✧)
Why Pran Buri?
Pran Buri is a location we work with frequently. It’s close to Hua Hin, making logistics manageable. The waters here provide us with a consistent supply of quality wild-caught fish. Working with the local fishermen in Pran Buri is a core part of our operation. We value the direct connection to the source. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)✨
Looking Ahead
We continue to focus on bringing fish from Pran Buri to you with the same level of care and speed. Our process is designed to be transparent and efficient. We record the key stages to ensure accountability. The goal remains simple: to provide fish as they are, directly from the sea.
