SEAFOOD CARE AND HANDLING:
Mat Valley Meats only accepts for processing seafood that has been properly cared for. Here are some pointers to help you to get the best out of your catch:
- Carry ice with you. As with any perishable product, temperature is always important.
- If you can, bleed the fish. This is done by cutting the gills loose. This will insure that you are getting the best possible flavor from the meat.
- As soon as you can, gut the fish and pack the cavity with ice.
- Get the fish to the processor as quickly as possible.
- If you are not good at filleting, have a professional do it for you. This makes a big difference in the final product.
If you just need your catch vacuum packed, or you would like us to smoke, store and ship, we know you will not find better quality or service than you will at Mat Valley Meats. Good luck, and good fishing.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL TO CHECK ON YOUR FISH. We process hundreds of orders and will be faithful to call you when yours is ready. Multiple phone calls delay our ability to finish your order in a timely manner.
