fish cleaning


They do not allow cleaning of fish on the boat on long range trips. Mexican law does not allow cleaning of fish on the boat it was caught on. Some over night boats do it, even some two dayers, but the long range boats dont.
Most fish are flash frozen on the first part of the trip. fish caught near the end of the trip, some boats put in a Refridgerated salt water brine. This is best
Most people do not trade their fish for Canned they might trade some but most is taken by one of the local fish processors. They are there waiting when a long range boat comes in. They clean cut and package your fish and even ship it to you.
The tuna that was frozen looks a little beat up but isnt really. The fish that went into the RSW comes out sushi grade if handled gently.

Thanks, flash freezing and the salt water brine will do the trick in keeping the meat in good shape. I didn't know it was illegal to dress the fish while at sea. Wow, 300 lbs of canned tuna would keep me in sandwiches for quite some time.

I didn't know about the "no fish cleaning" rule because I've never been on a trip over two days.
But ya, the fish are totally fresh if your on a boat with a good fish hold that either freezes the fish or uses the frozen brine.
The brine tank is like putting the fish in a giant slurpie.
I saw the fish processing guys too. But I thought it was only for custom canning of fish. They can your fish and put a special label with your name.
But if you trade your fish to starkist or those guys you don't get much back. But still, it's difficult to fit a big fish like that in your freezer so sometimes it's worth it to trade for canned.
