Catch Details: Bluefin Trevally from Pran Buri
Today, we secured a 2kg Bluefin trevally from the waters off Pran Buri. This area, located about 20 minutes by car from Hua Hin, is where we source our fish. The Bluefin trevally, known in Japanese as Kasumi-Aji, is a species we handle regularly. (•̀_•́)✨
From Port to Processing: Our Standard Procedure
The moment the fish arrives at the port, our team is ready. We purchase the catch and immediately move it to our processing facility. This entire process, from buying the fish to reaching our facility, takes under 10 minutes. This speed is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the fish. We aim to minimize any delay between the catch and the start of processing.
Once at the facility, the fish is expertly handled. Our team, trained by the chairman himself, follows precise cutting and hygiene protocols. This ensures that each fish is prepared according to our standards. The focus remains on factual records and efficient execution of the process. (≖ ͜ʖ≖)✨
Blast Freezing at -30℃
After being processed into sashimi fillets, the Bluefin trevally is vacuum-packed. The next critical step is blast freezing. We use our specialized freezers, which operate between -30℃ and -60℃. This rapid freezing process locks in the fish's condition at the point of processing. The fish is then stored at a consistent -30℃.
Maintaining this low temperature is non-negotiable. It preserves the texture and quality of the fish for when it reaches our customers. Every step is logged, providing a clear record of the fish's journey from the sea to its frozen state. This data is key to our traceability system. (✧∀✧)
Traceability: Recording Every Step
Our process is built on verifiable data. For this 2kg Bluefin trevally, like all our catches, we record key timings and temperatures. This includes the time of purchase at the port and the time of packing. This systematic approach allows us to track each batch of fish accurately. We believe in transparency through data, not just words. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The goal is to provide a clear picture of how the fish was handled. This information is available to our customers, allowing them to understand the care taken at every stage. It’s about building trust through verifiable processes. (•̀_•́)✨
