processed seafood
Factory-prepared fish products
Processed seafood refers to fish, shellfish, or other marine life that has been altered from its raw state through methods like canning, smoking, freezing, breading, or curing.
Canned tuna, smoked salmon, fish sticks, and surimi (imitation crab) are common examples.
The processing may extend shelf life, enhance flavor, or make the product more convenient: The grocery store's processed seafood section includes everything from frozen shrimp to sardines in oil.
