Summary

Sea food can be thawed simply by leaving the product at ambient temperature in a temperate climate. To accelerate this process, there are traditional methods: thawing by circulating, humidified air or thawing in water. These methods significantly reduce the thawing time of food before processing. Two recent, more sophisticated and more expensive methods - thawing by condensation of water vapour under vacuum, and microwave thawing (or ultra high frequency thawing) - significantly accelerate the thawing process, but with less safety within the bounds of industrial production.
