The importance of ice in the value-chain
The importance of keeping fish fresh, as long as possible before consumption, has been a challenge for many cultures for thousands of years. Both the ancient Chinese and the ancient Romans used natural ice and natural ice mixed with seaweed respectively to preserve their catch. It wasn’t until the mid-19th Century when mechanical refrigeration was invented and later perfected by the Frenchman Ferdinand Carre that ice readily became available to use of fish preservation.
