FLAT PACK VACUUM SEALED SEAFOOD PACKAGE AND PROCESS

摘要

A process for packaging seafood comprises the steps of: placing seafood (12) on a rough surface (22) of a pallet (14) in a flat orientation, the surface being optionally microwave reflective; vacuum sealing the palletized seafood in a transparent bag (16), optionally having a first ply for strength and a second ply for temperature resistance; flash freezing the vacuum sealed seafood; and microwave cooking the vacuum sealed seafood in the bag without rupturing the vacuum seal. A package for seafood comprises: a pallet having a rough surface upon which seafood is positioned in a flat orientation, the surface being optionally microwave reflective; and, a transparent bag, optionally having a first ply for strength and a second ply for temperature resistance, in which the palletized seafood is vacuum sealed; and, an outer container (10) for receiving the vacuum sealed bag, the bag being adapted for microwave cooking without rupturing the vacuum seal.
