Restaurant owner should try to get in touch
with smoked catfish suppliers to
give you some product to be sold at your restaurant. Furthermore smoked catfish
has longer shelf life, thus you can store it easier. It also does not have bad
fishy smell which catfish used to have since it already been smoked before, thus
the quality of the meat can be preserved without having to deal with fishy
smell all the time. The smoked catfish also have better quality since the color
itself has turned into golden yellow color while the meat texture is clear. It
will make the meat become chewy but still tender to eat and the taste become
more flavorful.
Restaurant Business Owner Using Smoked
Catfish Suppliers
Of course, you should also ensure that your
restaurant will get the best quality smoked catfish product from the catfish supplier. This
is why you should try to learn the process that they will do to create the smoked
catfish product for your restaurant. And since making smoked catfish is quite
easy to do, especially if the smoked catfish
suppliers have all the equipment needed to create it, then they can make
this product easily.
Usually to get the catfish the supplier
already has their own farm as a place to grow the catfish. They grow the
catfish from special breeding fish to lay the eggs then grow the eggs that it
laid. After the catfish grow then it can be harvest from the farm and being
taken to the factory for further process to be smoked catfish product.
After arriving at the factory, the catfish
will be shorted using special machine. This machine can collect catfish which
has similar sizes. By using this machine the smoked
catfish suppliers can do this process faster and easier thus the catfish
can be transfer into the next processing line in no time.
This next line is where the cleaning
process takes place, the catfish gut, membrane and slime will be cleaned from
the fish. Some factory might still use manual worker to do it, but some other
factory which already implement high technology in their system will use
cleaning machine to clean the catfish. Furthermore since the catfish itself
does not have any scale which need manual and detailed cleaning, then using
cleaning machine to clean the catfish is possible since the catfish skin itself
is not remove to ensure the skin maintain the oil on the fish meat. By using
this machine the smoked catfish suppliers
can clean the catfish easier and better thus the catfish will be completely
cleaned before being transfer into the next processing line.
In the next line, the catfish meat that
already been cleaned will be cut into fillet which is more suitable size to be
smoked. By cutting the catfish meat into this suitable size, then the smoking
time can be reduced, thus the process will be faster and the result will be
better.
Now that the catfish meat is ready, then smoked catfish suppliers then need to do the main
part which is to smoke the meat. Before doing it, the catfish meat will be
rinse using brine to add some flavor to the meat and to extend the shelf time. The
salt in the brine will be able to prevent the meat from getting spoiled by
making the fat oxidation process slower thus extending the shelf life of the
meat. Now the catfish meat is ready to be arranged on the rack then put inside
the smoking machine. This machine is the one that will smoke, dry catfish and cook the
catfish meat to be the product you will receive in your restaurant later.
After the smoking process is done, now they
are ready for packing process. The product will be packed in sealed bag. It
does not have further process if you want to use it within two weeks from
production so you only need to keep it inside the fridge. However, if you want
to keep the product longer then you can ask the supplier to frozen the product
so it can be preserved for around two months from production. Now that the
product is ready the smoked catfish
suppliers only need to send their product to your restaurant then you can
use it to cook dishes.
