    Dear Mike Strang:

    Yes. If you don´t take care your thawed fish could be dehydrated in the
    surface. I have recommended this thawing method for whole round seafrozen
    fish only, to prepare, i.g. skinless fillets.

    Regards,

    Does this method contribute to excess drying of the product?

    Jon Pall:

    Yes it´s possible the air thawing of frozen fish. You should use air
    blust
    at 300-400 meters/min speed and temperatures about 0° C, preferable in
    refrigerated chambers to be used for this purposes only. The time will
    depend of the frozen fish size, fish frozen blocks size, etc. This
    method is
    recommendable to thaw seafrozen fish for further processing in land
    Factories.

    I have never heard of thawing of seafood with air. Is somebody using
    this
    method?

    We have used thawing machines which have given us the most control in
    the
    procedure (time and temperature of thawing).

    Dear members,

    Air thawing is advisable or not. Especially in cuttle fish processing.
    Please tell the advantages and disadvantages.

    With regards
