Dear Shahul,
We hve used peroxide and peracetic acid with limited success. The fish fillets are high in organoic matter, and the bacteria seem to be well attached. Similar wotrk with poultry products has resulted in limited success at best.
I would say keep your place clean and your harvest area free of contamination.

Subject: Enteros, decontamination regarding
Dear list,
Could anyone of you throw some light on the following.
1. Growth rate of Enterobacteriaceae.
2. Use of peroxide as a decontaminating agent in fish fillets, keeping in view that, disinfection is not recommended in frozen fillets, and the fillets are to be handled hygienically without cross contamination. ( The difference between disinfection and decontamination)
Thanks,
