Abstract
A frozen product of minced fish meat frozen into granules includes: 90 wt % or more of meat granules having a substantially columnar shape with a 3 mm to 7 mm diameter; and 10 wt % or less of meat granules with a short diameter of 2 mm or less. A method of producing the minced fish meat frozen into granules includes: raising the temperature of fish meat which has been frozen at −20° C. or less to a temperature of from −10° C. to −5° C.; mincing the fish meat while maintaining the temperature of the fish meat at −10° C. to −5° C. by using a meat mincer having a feed screw, a plate, and a plate knife at a rotation speed of 200 rpm or less; lowering the temperature of minced fish meat to −20° C. or less; and crushing the minced fish meat frozen at −20° C. or less into granules.
Claims8
A method of producing frozen minced fish meat granules, the method comprising:
- a) raising a temperature of fish meat which has been frozen at −20° C. or less to a temperature in a range of −10° C. to −5° C.;
- b) mincing the fish meat by rotating a plate knife of a meat mincer to form minced fish meat granules while maintaining the temperature of the fish meat in the range of −10° C. to −5° C., wherein the meat mincer has a feed screw, a plate, and the plate knife, and the plate knife rotates at a rotation speed that is equal to or less than 200 rpm to form the minced fish meat granules;
- c) cooling the minced fish meat granules to a temperature that is equal to or less than −20° C., wherein the minced fish meat granules frozen at −20° C. or less partially adhere to each other;
- and
- d) separating the adhered minced fish meat granules into the frozen minced fish meat granules that have a substantially columnar shape.
