Its summer and so begins fishing season!  We see many of our neighbors going fishing on the weekend in Salt Lake City, but other than that we probably don’t think a lot about where the fish we eat comes from.  One of the largest fishing areas in the nation is in the Northeastern United States.  This summer, commercial and private fishermen are casting their nets into the Pacific Ocean to bring in the fresh and delicious seafood that will be sold in grocery stores and eateries in Utah and throughout the US.  But how does seafood go from the fishing boat to your table?  Here is a little food for thought the next time you sit down to enjoy your favorite seafood delight.  After seafood is caught it needs to get to the consumer, and fast!  Facilitating frozen and live seafood from the source to the buyer is a complex and involved feat.  First the fresh seafood needs to be packaged.  Timing and temperature are key components when it comes to maintaining product quality.  How fast and where fish is processed will determine its “grade”, or standard of quality.  In order for fish to be deemed live or extremely fresh, it's referred to as "sushi grade” fish.  This means that the seafood caught has not only been packaged at the source, but that it has been packaged in a way that it is "parasite destruction guaranteed".  This is achieved by freezing and storing the product at -35 Celsius for 15 to 24 hours, adequate time to kill any parasites.  While all seafood requires quick packaging and transportation, sushi grade is the highest standard for any "ready- to-eat" fish and requires the most efficient processing and transportation. Regardless of grade, once seafood is packaged it needs to be delivered to market.  A large amount of the fish caught in the NE will be taken to local markets while the rest is sent as quickly as possible to surrounding states.  To do this, shippers and distributors may contact a logistics company like England Logistics who can put together the carrier network they need.  Both local and long distance delivery utilizes a mix of temperature controlled full truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation.  Temperature controlled truckload and LTL is basically the industry’s way of saying refrigerated transportation in a truck that is either full or partially full.   The use of full truckload versus LTL is determined by the quantity and destination of the product.  Once the seafood is loaded into a refrigerated truck it is transported to the grocery stores and markets where the end user can purchase it.  When the truck arrives it will be unloaded at a dock and moved to the point of sale.  Dock workers and business managers have a clear understanding of where their seafood comes from and the conditions needed for proper transportation.  They will check the product to make sure it has arrived in good condition before accepting it.  Once accepted by the business it becomes the job of the store and business owner to get consumers buying their seafood.  This requires planning to ensure sure supply isn’t too great or too little and a good marketing strategy to draw the right crowd.  The stores that do these things the best are well known for their seafood quality and most people who visit them will say you can “taste the difference”.  And in the end, it’s all about getting that fresh, out of the water taste you get when you hook a fish on your own line.  So while it’s probably not as exciting as casting your reel and pulling in your own fish, the next time you buy or order your favorite seafood, consider what the fishermen in the Northeast, the transportation specialists at England Logistics, and the manger at your favorite sushi diner do to deliver safe, fresh seafood to you.     ...read more
