New opportunities with marination of fish
Marination creates exciting new opportunities in the fish industry. Marination has been used for many years in the pork, beef and poultry industries to create new, exciting and value added products. The turn has now come to the fish industry, where marination currently is only used to a very limited extent. Marination has a number of very significant advantages to both the processor and consumer.
Marination of fresh or further processed fish (for example smoked or cooked) is used to ensure that more moisture is contained in the product. The added moisture provides a significantly increased yield to the processor. Consumers prefer the product, as it is more juicy and tender. Both the processor and consumer enjoy the benefit of the longer shelf-life of the product, which ensures a natural appearance for a longer period of time.
By adding flavours to the marinades, processors can create exciting “novelty” products with new taste profiles. New brands can be created ensuring consumer loyalty, whilst opening up new market segments, by giving them a much wider range of choice.
Marination can also be used to a wide extent in the preparation of meal components for ready meals, which again opens up exciting new avenues for fish processors. Consumers are looking for the health benefits of fish when buying ready meals, which so far have hardly been available to them.
CFS has all the equipment required for marination of fish. Special injectors with dense needle pattern, short stroke length and conveyor belts are available for this application. A sophisticated brine preparation system is available to prepare the required brines and marinades. For products that are not injected but tumbled CFS has one of the widest range of tumblers in the market available.
For the processing and packaging of coated fish products CFS offers an extensive range of equipment. CFS has recently introduced several innovative solutions.
The newly introduced pre-duster OptiFlour® operates dust-free. This fully automatic and recipe-controlled machine is easy and safe to operate and the patented flour divider ensures an even, equal thin or thick layer on your seafood.
