Verfahren zur Verarbeitung von Muscheln und Verpackung mit Muscheln

摘要

The present invention creates a method for packaging mussels, which method includes the following steps: - cleaning, mutual separation and/or classification of the mussels; - the seafood is left for a predetermined period in salt water, for least some of this period the salt water being cooled to below 10 DEG C; and - packaging the mussels at a temperature below 10 DEG C in such a manner that they are kept in the closed state. By means of the method according to the present invention the quality and the shelf life of fresh mussels are improved by slowing down the metabolism of the seafood during the so-called conditioning phase, that is during the period in the salt water after the mechanical handling.
