Our Fish Factory and Cooperative Advantages: Safeguarding Your Export Business
With over a decade of immersion in the canned goods export industry, we've witnessed firsthand how quality fluctuations and supply disruptions can derail even the most promising business partnerships.

Our Own Fish Factory: Strict Quality Control from the Source
Every fish that enters our production line starts its journey in the pristine, nutrient-rich waters of the Pacific Ocean, specifically in areas with strict environmental protection policies. These waters, far from industrial zones, ensure the fish grow in a pollution-free habitat, resulting in meat that's not only tender but also free from harmful contaminants. To preserve this freshness, when caught the fish,our logistics team they will immediately iced fishes. Rapid turnover isn't just a goal-it's a promise, achieved through our dedicated fleet of refrigerated trucks and pre-scheduled delivery routes that minimize delays.
Our technicians monitor the temperature and duration of each batch in real time, ensuring every can meets our internal standards before moving to the next stage.
Although both use Pacific mackerel (500-700g), due to different processing techniques, there are differences in raw material selection and processing:
Raw material standards: Mackerel in tomato sauce selects fish with 12%-15% fat content caught from May to July, which balances the sweet and sour taste of the tomato sauce. For salted mackerel, more emphasis is placed on freshness. It undergoes quick freezing treatment after fishing to maintain freshness to the maximum extent and avoid fishy odor.
Pretreatment process: Mackerel in tomato sauce is lightly soaked in 3% salt water for 15 minutes to lock in moisture and absorb the tomato sauce. Salted mackerel is quickly rinsed with clean water to retain the texture and then marinated in 8%-10% salt water to highlight the firmness. We once adjusted the piece size of mackerel in tomato sauce from 2cm to 3cm for an Australian customer, which increased the repurchase rate by 40%.
While our own factory excels in precision, we recognize that peak seasons and large-volume orders demand additional capacity. That's why we've partnered with three reputable fish factories, each selected through a rigorous 20-point evaluation process that includes facility audits, staff training records, and past quality performance. These partners adhere to the same strict standards as our own factory-from raw material sourcing to final packaging-ensuring uniformity across all our products.
