Seafood fraud (13 photos)

Lovers of beer snacks in the form of salt fish dedicated.
The most interesting moments of the production of this product.
You will learn what and how to cheat.



 
Tuna on the skin. In fact - crushed Smoked- salty (or simply salty-dried) strips bluvaytinga.



Sometimes bluvaytinga fillets sold in its original form:



2. salt-dried (salty, smoked) strips of tuna (tuna meat). Actually - the product is manufactured from surimi - crushed and colored by a special technology of white fish meat. Several years ago, for the manufacture of surimi massively used pollock, saithe now used - the most cheap white fish. Just surimi produced plenty of other "imitation" of seafood (in particular - crab sticks, which gave rise to the famous saying "the production data of crab sticks crab none were harmed").



Salt-dried strips of salmon. In fact - the same Tuna: surimi product.



Salt-Dried (salty, smoked) chopped squid. Here the situation is better: although it would be really squid. The truth is not the squid that you buy in shops and cook at home, and its cheaper sibling: the giant squid - Dosidicus gigas with a totally disgusting meat, which is almost impossible to cook at home.



In recent years, giant squid fillets smoked sell in supermarkets, it looks like this:



As for me - rare stuff, but cheap and therefore bought. Salt-dried (salty, smoked) Squid wings - a cheaper version of the same stuff. I do not know why the wing cheaper squid carcass, Therefore I say it is.



5. The salt-dried fish-needle. In fact - Tylosurus acus melanotus, actually fish, which can be called.



In general, the form looks like this:



6. Dried-salted yellowtail.



A similar fish - Pompano - import frozen for further processing already in our country. We have a store it is sold either under the original name "pompano", or under the fraudulent "Vomero".



The real Vomero "large forehead" and looks like this:



We smoked it. The taste - how shitty mackerel.
If there are some items that I missed - say.
I will ask a question of the Chinese. With pictures only in words I can not explain.

Processing technology.
At my request, the plant engineer has described to me the production of large quantities exported to Russia and Ukraine Product:
of dried-salty shredded squid. Everything looks so:
1. Receving raw materials / delivery of raw materials to the plant.
2. Cleaning and trimming squids / cleaning (washing) and cutting unwanted parts of the carcass of squid.
3. Squids fillets in boiling water / cooking squid fillets in boiling water.
4. Seasoning with the ingredients / water additive ingredients (salt, sugar, D-Sorbitol, Monosodium glutamate).
5. Dring / dryers.
6. Roast / prozharka.
7. Shredded / grinding.
8. Final seasoning / re-additive ingredients (salt, sugar, D-Sorbitol, Monosodium glutamate).
9. Dry the final products / re-drying.
10. Filings coherer inspect / that I could not translate.
11. Packing / packaging.
12. Carried to cold storage / delivery warehouse.

The composition of the final product looks like this: Squid 89%, sugar 7.2%, salt 1%, Monosodium glutamate 1%, D-Sorbitol 1.8%.
Since I myself am not a chemist, the question is: What is Monosodium glutamate and D-Sorbitol?
The latter (as I understand) some antibiotic. There are specialists in readers?
Well the last recommendations.
All of the above, I is not recommended for use.
