FutureFish is a new processing method for fresh, frozen (thawed) and salted fish, suitable for both soft and strong fish including whitefish (such as cod), resulting in higher quality, higher yield and increased shelf life, using only fully natural methods (no chemicals at all).
The FutureFish processing method is a concept that consists of three different processing steps.
Step 1: 'Royal' treatment of fish using NW H&G*
Step 2: Pin bone removal and trimming
Step 3: Skinning of portions or whole fillets
Step 1: Royal treatment of fish
H&G Cod is put into a NW H&G*storage solution overnight. The NW H&G* treatment is applied for higher binding capacity and less gaping after filleting.
This is a completely unique method, resulting in higher quality, higher yield and increased shelf life (giving an extra two to three days), all naturally. Step 1 is expected to increase yield by 6%.
Step 2: Pin bone removal and trimming
Trio FTC introduces the patented modular Ergo-Light Pin Bone Remover with speed and pulling power control and a unique mechanical picking action which gently removes pin bones from nearly all fresh/defrosted and smoked fillets.
The Ergo-Light PBR is air powered and has been developed and tested to meet even the worst working conditions.
FTC says it can ensure that the Ergo-Light PBR gives the best ever results, the highest possible yield and capacity and is the most reliable.
The company says that pin-boning cod is an easy task after NW H&G* treatment also says that Step 2 gives 6% increased yield, plus a wider range of product variety possibilities.
Step 3: Skinning of portions or whole fillets
Trio Fish Processing Machinery AS says that its FDS 3000 Skinning Machine is the best option for skinning the portion as there is less loss and there is no gaping.
Step 3 is said to give 3% increased yield, plus higher quality fillets and there is no gaping or tearing because of skinning strain.
The companies say that using Steps 1, 2 and 3 together gives a total combined increase of 12% to 15% in yield and the process can be used for other fish including hake, hoki, whiting, pollock etc.
