Discover how freeze drying can add significant value to premium fish, shellfish, seaweed and algae
Freeze drying – referred to in certain markets as vacuum drying - enables the consumer to enjoy high-quality fish and shellfish with maximum shelf life and minimal preparation. By removing moisture at low temperatures using sublimation, freeze drying locks in flavor, nutrients and texture without the need for refrigeration or additives. It's the natural solution for seafood manufacturers and brands seeking to reduce waste, extend shelf life and protect product integrity.
