Frozen at Sea Blue Whiting 'Surimi' Production Trials

Summary

Frozen at Sea Blue Whiting ‘Surimi’ Production Trials Tokyo – November 1978. Spring 1978 saw the successful production of Blue Whiting Surimi during the Stornoway processing trials conducted in conjunction with Nippon Suisan Kaisha of Japan (N.S.K.). The follow up marketing assessment by N.S.K., in Japan, proved blue whiting Surimi to be highly acceptable, with one major exception, which was product made from frozen at sea (FAS) material. This has since become a major problem in any future development, due to the Japanese company initially rejecting all product made from frozen raw material out of hand, even though sample results appeared to be adequate to meet their specifications. This report has been produced from a scanned original produced in December 1978 and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.
