Seafood Specifications
Our seafood specifications are exceptionally stringent.
From harvest through to processing, including workmanship,
temperature control and product identity—our process
is strictly controlled.
The processing plant is HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Points) certified and is inspected by the United States Department
of Commerce, Seafood Inspection Service. All seafood products
are handled and processed in accordance with the National
Marine Fishery Service laws and regulations. We are sensitive
to environmental concerns over fishing and will only utilize
those varieties which are controlled and approved by the Fishery
Laws of the United States.
Efficient Delivery
We utilize the most efficient means to deliver fresh seafood
to your operation. The product will be delivered at proper
food temperatures. You will notice a time-temperature monitor,
which will indicate whether or not the product has reached
excessive temperatures. It will change color if excessive
temperature abuse occurs or if the 10 day use-time has expired.
Once you receive the fish, submerge the sealed seafood trays
in ice and keep iced at all times. Do not open the tray until
you are ready to use the product. Always store fresh fish
containers in the temperature range of 30¾ Fahrenheit, submerged
in ice is best.
Helpful Storage and Handling Tip
• Maintain fresh fish between 30-34¾ F. Use ice on
and around un-opened fish tubs and opened fish fillets.
• Fresh fish can be held twice as long at 32¾ Fahrenheit,
as it can at 37¾ Fahrenheit.
• Replenish ice as needed and remove melted ice water
as often as necessary. Do not store fresh fish in melted
ice water.
• Upon opening fish tub or cutting loins, any unused
fish should be stored in drained bus tub, allowing melted
ice to drain away from the fillets.
• Minimize the time fish is left out of cooler or away
from ice. Only remove enough fish for portioning and restore
back in ice.
