    Dear List,
    Sashimi grade tuna loins are blast frozen for the Japanese market at -55 to
    - 60 degrees. They are then stored at -60 C. Could anybody advise what the
    effects of vacuum packing, freezing at -60 followed by storage at -20 C
    would have on the colour and quality of the ensuing product. Normally
    storing sashimi grade fish at -20 C would result in discoloration of the
    meat making it unsuitable for this market. Would the above process extend
    the predicted shelf life of the product ?
    Regards

    David J Byrom
