Seafood is packaged in various types of
containers
Packaging innovations in the seafood industry are evolving at a rapid rate, much seafood is still sent to retail and institutional markets unpackaged. Whole or dressed fish and some shellfish are packed in ice and marketed in bulk containers. At the market, the products are displayed and offered for sale – still unpackaged – on a bed of ice.
Frozen seafood products have progressed further with packaging than fresh products, the appearance of some packages is better than their ability to protect product quality.
