ABSTRACT:
A low-cost process for preserving fish for periods up to five weeks without deterioration or loss of quality comprises the steps of subjecting freshly caught fish to one or more antimicrobial treatments, supercooling the treated fish in an ice/salt mixture to a temperature of from about -2.degree. C. to -5.degree. C. and storing the supercooled fish in a non-frozen state at temperatures in the range of about 0.degree. C. to about -5.degree. C.
