China Seafood
is well known for its health and nutritional
values. Increasing availability and variety
of China Seafood offers consumers many choices.
However, while buying top-quality frozen China
Seafood, it is very important that you follow
some important tips and look for the right qualities
in your purchases. You can then ensure good
China Seafood quality and safety.
You should always
purchase China seafood from a dealer who maintains
high quality. You should know the characteristics
of high quality China seafood, and always avoid
low-quality products.
Purchase raw,
frozen China seafood carefully, and buy only
from reputable markets. If in doubt, ask the
seafood market personnel to show you the certified
shipper's tag that accompanies all "shell on"
products or check the shipper number on frozen
China seafood containers.
Your China Seafood
dealer can tell you about seasonal offerings.
Your dealer can also indicate the most economical
China Seafood varieties. Always purchase China
Seafood from a dealer that maintains high quality.
Base your China Seafood purchases on quality.
Frozen China Seafood can be superior in quality
to fresh products. Many types of China Seafood
are "flash frozen" within hours of harvest.
It might take several days for the same China
Seafood to make it to your seafood dealer .
When you purchase China Seafood, look for the
following characteristics of high quality.
When buying frozen
China Seafood, you should check that the flesh
is solid, and there is no discoloration or drying
(freezer burn) on the surface. Odor should not
evident or is fresh and mild.
The wrapping
material should be moisture proof and vapor
proof, should fit closely around the frozen
China Seafood, and should be undamaged.
Packaging materials
should not contain ice crystals, or have water
shins or other indications showing that the
product had thawed at any point.
Packaged breaded
and unbreaded China Seafood products should
have a clean and uniform appearance. Individual
pieces should separate easily. Breading should
still be intact.
Packaged frozen
China Seafood may have an expiration date stamped
on the label. Use the China Seafood before the
expiration date.
The transfer
of illness causing bacteria to cooked seafood
can occur when store personnel use poor handling
techniques. For example, contamination can occur
when live or raw seafood comes in contact with
cooked seafood, live or raw seafood passes over
and drip onto cooked seafood. Contamination
can also occur when the person you buy seafood
from uses the same utensils for raw and cooked
seafood or the person you buy seafood from uses
bare hands to pick up cooked seafood. Do not
purchase cooked seafood if you observe poor
seafood handling techniques.
Temperature is
important for China Seafood quality. Frozen
China Seafood should be displayed at 0ºF or
below. Package frozen China Seafood products
should be stored below or behind the "load lines"
in self-service display cases.
When in doubt,
throw it out! Do not taste a food that you think
is spoiled.
