Summary
A job that manufactures fried fish paste products such as satsuma-age using fish surimi.
Description
Fried Fish Paste Makers use fish surimi as raw material to mix and form it, apply batter, and fry it in oil, performing a series of processing steps to produce fried fish paste products such as satsuma-age and neri-ten. They maintain product texture and flavor through raw material acceptance inspections, surimi quality control, and adjustments to oil temperature and frying time, while complying with hygiene management systems such as HACCP. They also handle machine operations and maintenance on the production line, as well as packaging and shipping tasks, collaborating as a team to achieve safe and efficient production.
