Do you know that ‘fresh seafood’ is a myth? Do you know what ‘food miles’ are? What is an expert take on nutritious seafood? Is seafood sold in open safe? Which is the best method to preserve seafood? What difference does packaging make? There are a lot of answers you must know to make an informed decision about buying your fish. Hence, we at Daily Fish recommend, almost insist, that you go through the following FAQs carefully. After all, more you know about the seafood you eat, the better.
‘Fresh seafood’ is a myth unless it is cooked and eaten on the fishing boat itself. In fact, there’s no such thing as fresh seafood. We supply ‘As good as Live’ seafood through our world-class cold chain network which travels through what is technically called the ‘Food Miles’ preserving all the freshness and nutrients.
Where do you find ‘real’ fresh seafood? Every catch is either partially frozen using ice or frozen ‘As good as Live’ to international standards like what we do at Daily Fish. The boats which spend time at sea, fishing, landing and auctioning of a catch by traders, journey to store or street vendor and from there to your dining table, takes a few days. In scientific terms the time seafood takes to journey from ‘catch’ to ‘kitchen’ is called Food Miles which determines the quality of seafood.
Of course. Seafood starts spoiling quickly in open immediately after the catch or when partially frozen in ice. And in a couple of days, there is a noticeable change in quality, texture and taste. In fact, fully frozen seafood is ‘As good as Live’, because, it spends most of the Food Miles with its quality, nutrition and goodness intact.
Yes, let’s face the facts. There are parasites, bacteria etc that cause fast decay and spoilage in seafood in open conditions. This decay continues to occur until the fish is either cooked or frozen. Cooking kills the parasites and germs too, but then why carry them to the cooking pot when you have Daily Fish which is ‘As good as Live’.
No way. Our State-of-art freezing technology is the best process for seafood. And there are international standards of processing that Daily Fish follows.
State of art technologies that are being used for the processing of seafood in our factories is: IQF, Brine freezing (?) and Blast freezing etc. We also strictly monitor and control the cold chain from our factory to the destination, thus meeting all standards and maintaining the quality of the product.
IQF stands for ‘Individually Quick Frozen’ processing in the food industry. In this process, each piece of food is frozen individually. The method in which the products are frozen involves sending the individual food items into a blast-freezer with -40°c temperature which freezes the item very quickly and as a single piece. Keeping the better quality and nutrition locked in each individual piece.
This process is conducted because the food items start decaying and lose nutrients and goodness at a much faster rate at room temperature. Through IQF process these are locked-in till they are consumed.
Fish is a great source of proteins, minerals, vitamins, omega-3 amino acids, which are heart healthy and overall nutritious. All these remain intact along with freshness when frozen. In open conditions, they deteriorate fast. In fact, freezing preserves the high-protein, cholesterol-fighting properties in fish.
Well, two things. For one, you have the first-hand experience of buying the seafood. You are aware of hygiene conditions in which fish is sold in local markets, roadside vendors and other stalls.
Second is about freezing. It has to be state-of-art technology. Daily Fish products go through the following chain:
Packaging is very important. Contact with atmospheric air is responsible for the decay of the fish. Wear and tear of the packaging cause spoilage. Daily Fish takes care of it all. What you get is secured in top-of-the-line double packaging.
Not at all. You pay at par with market prices. Moreover, you will enjoy customer privileges and promos Daily Fish offers, like Fish Coin, Catch of the day, Refer a Friend and many more.
Yes, storing, thawing, cooking and restoring are very important yet very simple to follow:
Daily Fish should be cooked only after proper Thawing as detailed below:
Immerse the Airtight packet in normal water for approximately 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the Fish. Open the Packet, Ensure it is fully thawed, Rinse with Water and proceed to cook your favourite dish.
