  2. Introduction • There are drawbacks to both fresh and frozen seafood • Freezing seafood can change its color, flavor and texture • Fresh fish may not be as “fresh” as you would think • Tuna is a great specie to use for our example Exit

  3. Fresh Tuna • Top quality tuna is the most valuable food animal in the world • In June 1999, our company president witnessed a Bluefin Tuna being sold, in the round, for 19,000yen/kg • That translates to $58.23/lb • The fish weighed 800 pounds • Total sale price was $46,587 • The auction price for the actual meat was $97.05/lb. • On January 18, 2001 a single Bluefin Tuna was sold for a record $140,000 Exit

  4. Here is an actual path to market for “fresh” Tuna… • A boat can take 1 week to get to the fishing area, fish for 1 week and take 1 week back • It can take 1 to 2 days to process and pack the fish • It can take 1 to 3 days in transit to get to the distributor • 1 to 3 days to get to the seafood store or restaurant • 1 to 3 days before it is served to the public • After 25 days, as long as it never been frozen, this fish can still be called “fresh” Exit

  5. For tuna to be top quality it has to be… • Caught properly • Processed and iced while on the boat • Shipped to the end customer as soon as possible • Consumed as soon as possible • A problem with any of these steps may cause the tuna to be unusable Exit

  6. Frozen Tuna • When tuna is frozen using conventional methods, the flesh turns brown and dry • This frozen tuna may be acceptable for cooking or canning but it loses most of its appeal • It is totally unacceptable for sashimi Exit

  7. In Japan, Most Tuna is Frozen • In Japan, tuna is frozen and stored in special -75ºF freezers • This freezing method maintains the desired characteristics • Freezing and holding fish at these low temperatures is expensive and is impractical outside of Japan Exit

  8. Customer Requirements • Consistent superior product quality • Predictable competitive prices • Consistent supply • Consistent sizing • Have it on hand when they need it • No shrink Exit
