Brilio.net - The sale of seafood satay on the roadside is increasingly common. Frozen seafood products such as crab sticks, fish balls, and fish dumpling cheese are popular snacks in the community. The delicious taste of seafood and the soft texture are an attraction for consumers.
Traders increase the selling value of frozen seafood products by processing them into satay. Serving is done by arranging and piercing frozen seafood using satay skewers. The processing process is completed with a spread of spices and grilling before being served to buyers.
Seafood satay processing faces challenges in the form of products that are easily spoiled at room temperature. According to blendofbites.com, processed meat products including fish contain high saturated fats that can trigger the formation of mucus. The condition of spoilage marked by the appearance of mucus and a sour taste has the potential to cause food poisoning.
The problem of seafood satay rotting was experienced by a trader who shared his experience through the TikTok account @neptunusfrozen. The seafood satay products sold experienced slime formation within two days. This condition shows the importance of proper handling in selling seafood satay.
"Those who display their wares use plastic mica like this. Of course, it will go in and out of the freezer, no matter how you try it, in two days it will be a bit sticky and sour," explained TikTok @neptunusfrozen as quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (31/10).

However, to avoid losses due to wasted seafood satay, he also applied a special trick. This trick is done to reduce and minimize the production of mucus contained in the seafood satay. That way, seafood satay can be more suitable for consumption for a longer period of time.

The trick is quite simple. So, when you feel that the seafood satay has been in and out of the freezer often, soak the seafood satay in boiling hot water. Now, turn the seafood satay over and over several times.
According to the seafood satay seller, boiling hot water can help reduce and eradicate mucus on the surface of seafood. In addition, the sour taste tends to be reduced. This certainly makes seafood satay more suitable for consumption.

But it should be noted that the seafood satay that has been soaked in water must be consumed immediately within one day. Because if left for longer, the seafood satay can be very slimy and sour. If so, make sure the satay is not consumed, okay.
