Ocean Tech’s Dayboat Mahi Fillets versus Others Ocean Tech’s entry into the Mahi market comes with a commitment to its customers to only product the best fish possible. That’s why we’ve decided to ONLY process Dayboat caught fish. Why Ocean Tech’s Dayboat Mahi Fillets have “Fresh Flavor” Ocean Tech’s Dayboats return with small catches (500 to 1,000 lbs.) of well-iced fish within hours of capture. Long boats return with large catches (30,000 to 40,000 lbs.) of fish somewhere within 7-10 days. Using only Dayboat fish, couples with our unique handling and processing procedures, we prevent the oxidation of the oils in the fish that can cause the rancid or fishy flavor of some Mahi. Ocean Tech’s Mahi fillets are cut and frozen to preserve their “fresh flavor” before any oxidation takes place. We retain the Natural Color Since Ocean Tech only processes Dayboat fish, our bloodlines are naturally bright and red. The bloodlines of many longboat fish turn brown after 7-10 days on board. We treat our Mahi fillets to “retain” their natural color, not “create” it. It is no secret that other processors treat inferior quality Mahi fillets to create acceptable color and marketability. We take “Extra Measures” in our Handling Process
It is “mandatory” that all Ocean Tech Dayboats leave the dock with “plenty” of ice. How do we assure this? By supplying it to them daily! At every buying station we make sure each boat receives ice before leaving to the fishing grounds each day, and that the fish are properly iced upon return. We take random internal fish temperatures to assure the fish have been cooled correctly. The fish are then rushed in refrigerated trucks to our facility where they are cut and frozen within hours. |
