Hotpot and Asian Cuisine
Hotpot and Suan Cai Yu put fish into a long simmered broth. That single fact decides which species work and which do not.
Industry Pain Points
- Soft whitefish slices that disintegrate in a simmered broth
- Hand slicing and starching during service, which is slow and inconsistent
- Price tier flexibility when a menu needs several options
- Species that are hard to source outside southern China
- Pack sizes that fit retail or foodservice but not both
What These Buyers Need
- Lean firm species such as snakehead and crisp grass carp
- Pre starched and marinated slices ready for the pot
- Five species on one pack format
- 250g 500g and 1000g pack sizes
