YELLOWFIN TUNA
Our Laut Biru Seafood, Bitung Tuna Processing Procedure:
We operate our Yellowfin Tuna factory in Bitung, North Sulawesi. Our strategic location places us exactly within the certified fishing grounds. Here are the key steps in our tuna processing:
1 Catch and Crew:
Our Yellowfin Tuna is 100% hand-line caught. Our skilled fishermen operate tuna fishing boats that typically spend 10-21 days at sea.
Each crew consists of 7-12 dedicated fishermen who ensure the quality and sustainability of our catch.
2 Fresh Landing and Chilling:
Upon arrival at the Bitung port, all tuna are landed fresh.
We immediately chill the tuna to preserve their freshness and flavor.
3 Ocean Union Grading and Weighing:
Our Ocean Union team receives the fresh landing at the port.
They meticulously grade and weigh each tuna before transporting them to our processing plant.
4 Histamine Testing:
At the Laut Biru Seafood factory, we subject every fish to a rigorous histamine test.
Only those that meet our stringent quality standards proceed to the processing line.
5 Tasteless Smoke Treatment and Freezing:
The fully cleaned whole fresh loins undergo treatment using an automatic Gas injection machine.
6 Precision Cutting:
Finally, the frozen loins are band saw cut into various forms:
Saku
Poke cubes
Steaks
Center-cut loins
