Seafish fish technologist Phil Prout reports on Seafish's continuing research into the effects on catch quality of pumpable ice, and how the latest technology can be applied.
Pumpable ice is a slurry of a vast number of fine crystals or particles of ice in brine. It can flow around the fish to envelop it in ice and extract heat quickly and efficiently.
For simplicity, Seafish calls this type of ice 'pumpable ice' because of the several different trade names used by manufacturers of this technology, such as Flo-Ice, Fluid Ice, Liquid Ice, Stream Ice, etc.
