Cryogenic technology is used to freeze fish products, which helps stop bacteria from forming on frozen seafood.

Increasing Frozen Seafood Adoption to Minimize Environmental Impact
Although though people prefer fresh seafood, the carbon footprint is larger when compared to frozen seafood since fresh seafood requires flying and rushed travel, but frozen seafood moves on energy-efficient transportation since time is not a concern once the fish is frozen. Transporting frozen fish by trucks, trains, or ships considerably lessens the impact on the environment as a whole.
Moreover, flash freezing helps reduce processing waste. Sales of frozen seafood are anticipated to increase over the next several years as sustainable food movements gain support and consumers become more conscious of how their food choices affect the environment.
