Processed seafood

Processed seafood refers to fish and seafood products that have been altered for preservation, flavor enhancement, or convenience. This includes methods such as freezing, canning, smoking, drying, or adding ingredients like salt, sugar, or preservatives. These processes help extend shelf life, improve taste, and make handling easier. Examples include canned tuna, smoked salmon, shrimp cocktails, fish fillets, and seafood marinated in sauces. While processed seafood can be nutritious and convenient, it’s important to check the labels for added ingredients like sodium or preservatives that may impact health.
