Improving Fish Quality
The Power of Controlled Batch Handling
For commercial whitefish harvesters, seafood processors, and distribution partners, the ultimate goal is clear: deliver the highest possible quality to the market while protecting bottom-line margins. However, whitefish quality isn't determined at the processing plant gate. It is won or lost during the very first hours on board the vessel.
