Innovative Preservation Methods Improving the Quality and Safety of Fish Products: Beneficial Effects and Limits

Fish products are highly perishable, requiring proper processing to maintain their quality and safety during the entire storage. Different from traditional methods used to extend the shelf-life of these products (smoking, salting, marinating, icing, chilling, freezing, drying, boiling, steaming, etc...
