Improved Oyster Processing
As demand for high-quality oysters increased, Sea Life Aquaculture focused on improving its post-harvest processing methods to ensure freshness, safety, and superior taste. This led to the enhancement of cleaning and depuration processes before delivery.
Key Improvements:
-
Advanced Cleaning Techniques
- – Implemented thorough cleaning methods to remove sediment, barnacles, and other impurities from oyster shells.
