How we Process
Step
01
Fishing & Cleaning
Fishing involves the capture of fish from natural water bodies or aquaculture systems using various methods such as nets, lines, or traps. Once caught, fish are handled with care to maintain freshness.Cleaning entails washing the fish to remove dirt, slime, and contaminants. It also includes scaling, gutting (removing internal organs), and trimming, preparing the fish for processing or immediate use.
Step
02
Processing of Fish & Omena
Fish & Omena processing involves a series of steps to prepare the fish for consumption, storage, or distribution. The process begins with cleaning, where fish are thoroughly washed, scaled, and gutted to remove impurities and internal organs. Next, the fish are cut or filleted into specific forms such as whole fish, fillets, or steaks, depending on the intended use.
Step
03
Packaging & Storage
Packaging involves sealing processed fish in suitable materials, such as vacuum-sealed bags or cartons, to protect against contamination and preserve freshness. Packaging is often labeled with essential information like date, weight, and storage instructions.
Storage is done in temperature-controlled environments, such as refrigeration or freezing units, to prevent spoilage and maintain quality until distribution. Proper handling during both stages ensures compliance with food safety standards.
