FROZEN AND ROASTED FISH FOR SIMPLE REHEATING AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject frozen and roasted fish capable of providing tasty roasted fish simply by thawing the fish before eating and roasting the thawed fish in a short time by heating the fish or meat thereof with far infrared rays, homogeneously denaturing proteins while holding water, simultaneously forming scorch patterns on the surface thereof, freezing and preserving the fish. CONSTITUTION:A fish or meat thereof consisting of opened and dried fish, sliced fish, etc., is heated with far infrared rays to simultaneously heat the interior and exterior of a material, such as the afore-mentioned fish. Thereby, free water produced by denaturation of proteins in the material and loss of water in the fish is suppressed as mush as possible to control elution of tasting or flavoring ingredients into the free water to the utmost. The above-mentioned material is heated with far infrared rays and simultaneously roasted with combustion heat or electrical heating to afford a roasted fish with beautiful scorch patterns and hardly any loss of water. The resultant roasted fish is then frozen to provide a frozen and roasted fish for simple reheating. A tasty roasted fish with a moderate moisture content is obtained simply by thawing the frozen and roasted fish before eating and reheating and cooking the thawed fish in a short time.
