The importance of good handling of the catch taken from the sea will be discussed too late. Bleeding, gutting, washing and last but not least cooling are the factors that matter if the goal is to bring first-class fish to market.
In order to facilitate the estimated need for ice in a row, Matís has had a simple calculator equipped to show how much ice is needed to cool and maintain the cooling of catches, taking into account sea and ambient temperatures and storage times.
This calculator gives an excellent indication of the amount of ice, but it certainly varies a bit depending on the type of ice used.
The calculator can be found on Matís' educational website: Ice demand (ice calculations)
