There are two storage methods for salmon, fresh and cold storage and frozen storage. Different storage methods will produce differences in food storage, which will affect the price and taste of salmon. Iced salmon and frozen salmon can be distinguished by meat color, compactness, elasticity and price.
1. Ice-fresh products refer to those products that reduce the temperature of animals to about zero within a short period of time after slaughter and keep it in this temperature range during transportation and storage. At this time, the meat is soft, low temperature can prevent bacterial reproduction, nutrition and taste are retained as far as possible, compared with frozen products will be more delicious.
Iced salmon meat has bright color, compact and soft, and strong elasticity. But there is one disadvantage of frozen food: its shelf life is short. So we need to get to the place of sale as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is easy to deteriorate the fish. Sometimes we even need to choose air transportation. As a result, the logistics cost of Frozen Salmon is relatively high, which is more expensive than frozen salmon.
2. Frozen food refers to food stored below minus 18 degrees Celsius. In the process of cooling, water in meat will condense and produce ice crystals, and the cell parts of meat will be damaged during thawing, so the nutritional composition and taste of frozen food will be affected to varying degrees.
The flesh of Frozen Salmon is not bright and slightly white. Its flesh is loose, inelastic and less greasy. However, it is very similar to Frozen Salmon when sliced into thin slices. Generally, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. However, because of the different storage methods, Frozen Salmon has low requirements for transportation and long storage time, so the price of Frozen Salmon is much cheaper than fresh salmon.
In addition, the price of salmon is affected not only by the way of storage, but also by the variety of fish. The price of Frozen Salmon is higher than frozen salmon in terms of storage mode, and Atlantic salmon is higher than salmon in terms of species. The answer is relative as to whether Frozen Salmon is better or frozen salmon. When consuming, people have different opinions on how to choose. After all, salmon in both storage modes have their advantages and disadvantages.
How to thaw salmon
Many salmon on the market are frozen and cannot be eaten directly or cooked continuously. They need to be thawed before they can be processed.
The usual method is to put the Frozen Salmon in the freezer and let it thaw slowly. After thawing, other operations can be carried out.
