Innovative seafood smoking technology gets more support

Sea Delight International has signed a memorandum of understanding with Australia-based Coral Sea Fishing Pty. Limited, signifying a willingness among both parties to cooperate in the distribution of Tasteless Smoke-treated seafood products across Australia and New Zealand.

The official agreement will allow for the development of new markets for Tasteless Smoke-, Flavorless Smoke- and Filtered Smoke-treated seafood products, for which Coral Sea Fishing holds the patents, rights and technologies. For its part in the collaboration, “Sea Delight will…provide technical assistance for the use of this innovative process as well as provide treated raw material to Coral Sea Fishing via our existing supply network,” explained Eugenio Sanchez, Sea Delight president.

“Through this partnership we also share a common vision for sustainable seafood. Coral Sea Fishing has agreed to provide a financial contribution per pound to the Sea Delight Ocean Fund, Inc. on all imported product so that they may continue supporting fishery improvement projects where this raw material is being sourced from,” Sanchez said.

This is a business union built on complimentary missions and visions, noted Sean Cauchois, Director for Coral Sea Fishing Australia.

“This is a partnership built on mutual goals. Collectively we have a very large and capable supply network all using the Flavorless, Tasteless Filtered Smoke technology. Together we are working on delivering high quality seafood products to our markets using natural shelf life extension processes derived from organics. Our shared vision for sustainable seafood will ensure this is a win-win partnership, for seafood resources and our customers,” Cauchois said.

The smoking technique and technology utilized by Coral Sea Fishing, called Fresh-tec, "works to reduce the oxidative rancidity that affects fish with high levels of haemoglobin and or high levels of natural oils; thereby extending the shelf life of the fish," according to the company's webpage.  Moreover, Fresh-tec Flavorless Odourless Smoke is compliant with the Food Standards Australia & New Zealand (FSANZ).
