Methods and means for the preparation of crustaceans and shellfish

摘要

The shellfish are allowed to incubate in a given amount of purified seawater in order to revitalize them. A method for preparing pre-packed, living crustaceans or shellfish comprises bringing the animals into contact with at least 0.3 l purified seawater per kg animal, and allowing the animals to incubate over a period of time sufficient to revitalize the animals. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Seawater for use in this method, provided in opaque packaging; and (2) Use of the purified seawater for preparing crustaceans or shellfish.
