Food processing industry includes the methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients by physical or chemical means into food for human consumption. Fish processing, in particular, takes caught or harvested fish and uses them to produce marketable food products.
Fish processing first includes fish handling, which is the preliminary processing of raw fish, and the manufacture of fish products. Fish processing further extends into primary processing involved in the filleting and freezing of fresh fish for onward distribution to fresh fish retail and catering outlets, and the secondary processing that produces chilled, frozen and canned products for the retail and catering trades.
Fish processing operations can be improved by using IT/IS (see for example: http://marel.com/innova). This company has been specialized in manufacturing execution systems (MES) required in today’s food processing.
