Packing Methods
There are several packing methods we do at HArshana Trading. The choice of packing method
depends on the type of seafood, the destination, and the mode of
transportation. It is important to choose the right packing method to ensure
that the seafood arrives at its destination in good condition.
Here are some common methods:
Fresh Seafood
Sacked in Ice
This method involves packing the seafood in a layer of crushed ice, which helps to keep the seafood fresh during transportation. This is commonly used for fresh seafood like fish, shrimp, and oysters.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
This method involves replacing the air inside the packaging with a mixture of gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide. This helps to slow down the spoilage process and extend the shelf life of the seafood. This is commonly used for fresh and frozen seafood like salmon, tuna, and crab.
Vacuum Packing
This method involves removing the air from the packaging and sealing it tightly. This helps to keep the seafood fresh for a longer time by preventing oxidation and bacterial growth. This is commonly used for frozen seafood like shrimp, scallops, and squid.
Canning
This method involves cooking the seafood and sealing it in a can with a preservative. This helps to preserve the seafood for a long time without refrigeration. This is commonly used for canned tuna, sardines,
and salmon.
Frozen Packaging
This method involves freezing the seafood and packaging it in airtight containers. This helps to preserve the seafood for a long time without losing its quality. This is commonly used for frozen seafood like shrimp, scallops, and squid.
