Our breeding and cultivation techniques are designed to produce optimal conditions for sea cucumbers as they mature.

We do so with the approval and respectful adhearence to the requirements of the Ministry of Fisheries department of the Fijian government. CLEANING & PRE-TREATMENT Removal of Viscera: After harvesting, the sea cucumbers/sandfish are carefully processed to remove the internal organs, ensuring that only the high-quality meat is retained for export. Washing and Soaking: The sea cucumbers/sandfish undergo thorough washing and soaking processes to eliminate impurities and reduce microbial contamination. DRYING PROCESS --- Sun Drying: In this method, the cleaned sea cucumbers/sandfish are sun-dried, leveraging natural sunlight to dehydrate the products. This traditional approach is often used in regions with suitable climatic conditions for solar drying. --- Air Drying: Alternatively, air drying involves the use of controlled airflow and temperature to gradually remove moisture from the sea cucumbers/sandfish while preserving their nutritional content. FREEZING PROCESS --- Freezing: The sandfish are initially frozen at very low temperatures to solidify the water content within the product. --- Dehydration: The frozen sandfish are then placed in a freeze-drying chamber where the ice transitions directly from solid to vapor, bypassing the liquid stage. This process, known as sublimation, removes the frozen water without causing significant damage to the cellular structure or nutritional components of the product.
