'Manufacturing' Vacuum Packed Fishes

On the 5th weeks of my project, I got a chance to see how the fish farm produce the vacuum packed-sealed-fishes. We started from 8 AM. Jason was in charge of taking the fishes out of the ponds, killing them, and then pass it to me and Xiao Tje to clean up the inside parts of the fishes body. And then Weykay will cut  the fishes and put them in the refrigerator racks.

Taking out the inside part of the fishes. It's a pretty difficult job actually

Killing the fish

Cut them into the good shape

We killed around 300-350 rainbow trout that day

The final shape of the fish

After we finished, we put all the fishes into the refrigerator room. It's -19.5 celcius degree inside. 

In the next week, we continued the 'manufacturing' process. This time, Jason made the blackpepper sauce for the rainbow trout. It contains sugar, black pepper, monosodium glutamat, and some other flour that I am not sure what is it. But the sauce smells and tastes so good. 

The sauce and the fishes

We need 3 piles of sauce to smear the fishes

And we put them into the refrigerator room again. On the next week, we continue the process by sealing the fishes into vacuum pack, and put the price according to their weight

The sealer machine. It sounds very scary 

The price tag machine. I was in charge to use this machine. I love this work!

Hooray! The fishes are ready to be sold and sent off!
