Flash Freezer VS Orthodox Slow Freezer

For us professionals, conducting tests and looking at the raw data is very important as we need not only visual, but measurable data to best optimize production in terms of quality and efficiency. 

This time, we used and compared the regular freezing with one of our advanced flash freezers and we have provided to you the results to see for yourselves what is the difference between regular freezing and flash freezing. 　

Yellowtail Fish

First, we would like to introduce a couple interesting facts about the yellowtail.

The yellowtail is famous for having different names, based on the sizes.
The grown and largest of the fish is called the yellowfish, but the smaller ones have a different name.

As listed, the name of the yellowtail varies on the size of the fish.

In Japan’s Kansai region it has been called Hamachi, but recently, it is the name given to farmed, smaller fishes.

Below are the nutrition facts of the Yellowtail fish.
Approximately 4 oz(100g)

Yellowtail frozen with a flash freezer

As seen in the picture, the freshness of the flesh is completely different.

The yellowtail that was frozen in a regular freezer saw a change in the overall taste from a fresh yellowtail. The reason for this deterioration is because with the normal method of freezing, the cells in the inner core of the yellowtail are destroyed, and the original freshness quality is lost. 

On the other hand for our yellowtail sample, there was absolutely no drip outflow, and the appearance and texture did not change from prior to being frozen. The core freshness quality was retained throughout the flash freezing process.

Yellowtail Freezing Summary

With this test, we saw a great end result with our flash freezer being able to retain the original freshness quality of the yellowtail sample and for any professional seafood businessman looking for the best outcome in freezing, flash freezing could be a great option for your business.
