From Our Farm to Your Table: How We Produce our Frozen Products

In the seafood industry, the clock is the greatest enemy. From the moment a fish is harvested, its quality begins a steady decline. With a strong commitment to freshness, safety, and innovation, Fishta Seafood has developed a meticulous process that ensures their frozen seafood products retain the same taste, texture, and nutritional value as freshly harvested fish.

Are you curious how your Fishta Seafood is processed? How did Fishta Seafood transform fresh catch into premium frozen products?

Responsible Sourcing and Immediate Handling

The journey of every Fishta frozen product begins with responsible sourcing. We work closely with a network of trusted aquaculture farms and fishing communities across the Philippines. Ensuring that seafood is raised and harvested under strict quality standards. Our “traceable seafood” approach allows us to monitor every stage—from farm to table—giving consumers confidence in the safety and origin of their food.

Careful Harvesting for Better Quality

At Fishta Seafood, we use harvesting techniques designed to preserve the natural quality of the fish. One method involves placing freshly caught seafood in icy water, allowing it to be handled humanely while maintaining firm texture and clean flavor. This step minimizes stress on the fish, which can otherwise affect meat quality.

Strict Cold Chain Handling

Immediately after harvest, the seafood enters a carefully controlled cold chain system. Temperatures are maintained between 0°C and 5°C during cleaning, sorting, and transport. This slows down bacterial growth and prevents early spoilage, ensuring the seafood remains in peak condition before freezing.

Advanced Freezing Technology

We utilise freezing methods such as blast freezing and Individual Quick Freezing (IQF). These technologies rapidly reduce the temperature of seafood to at least −18°C, effectively locking in moisture, flavor, and nutrients.

Rapid freezing is crucial because it prevents the formation of large ice crystals that can damage the fish’s texture. Instead, the product retains its natural firmness and freshness even after thawing.

Preserving Nutrition and Freshness

Contrary to common misconceptions, frozen seafood can be just as nutritious as fresh seafood. Because we freeze its products shortly after cleaning and preparation, essential nutrients like protein and omega-3 fatty acids are preserved. This process ensures that customers enjoy seafood that is both healthy and high-quality, even after extended storage.

Value-Added Convenience

Beyond raw frozen fish, we also offer value-added products, which are our ready-to-cook Ebi Delights. These are prepared under strict quality control before being frozen, providing consumers with a convenient way to enjoy restaurant-quality meals at home without compromising freshness.

Delivering Freshness to Every Filipino Home

From responsible sourcing to advanced freezing technology. Our production process reflects a balance of tradition and innovation. By maintaining strict quality standards at every stage, they ensure that their frozen products deliver consistent taste, safety, and freshness.

In every pack of Fishta frozen seafood is a simple promise: bring the ocean closer to Filipino homes—fresh, safe, and ready to cook anytime.
