Sourcing off Plumtree

Today, we sourced Blackfin Seabream from off Plumtree. It weighed 8kg. This is part of our daily fish inspection process at the port. (≖ ͜ʖ≖)✨

From Landing to the Processing Plant

The landed fish were chilled with ice on the boat. After purchasing at the port, it was quickly transported to the processing plant. This rapid handling is crucial for maintaining the fish's freshness.

Process Until It Reaches the Store

After landing, the fishermen chill the fish with ice on the boat. After purchase at the port, it arrives at the processing plant within 10 minutes, is processed into sashimi fillets, vacuum-packed, and then flash-frozen.

Processing and Hygiene Management

At the processing plant, we rigorously adhere to the cutting techniques and hygiene management taught by our chairman. We carefully fillet the fish while checking the flesh quality, color, and grain direction. Regular cleaning and disinfection are carried out without fail to maintain a hygienic environment. (•̀_•́)✨

Flash Freezing and Storage

The processed fillets are immediately vacuum-packed and frozen in a flash freezer at -30℃ to -60℃. Freezing at this temperature range minimizes cell damage to the fish, allowing it to retain its freshness at the time of purchase even after thawing. Storage also maintains this temperature range.

Flesh Quality of Blackfin Seabream

The Blackfin Seabream we sourced this time had firm flesh, fine-grained fibers, and a moderate amount of fat on the belly side. This is evidence that the marine environment off Plumtree is suitable for the fish's growth. (✧∀✧)✨
