Trawling Seafrozen Round Scad

Trawling uses a large, cone-shaped net dragged through water or along the seafloor, catching round scad in bulk. Because trawled fish experience greater physical stress and may ingest sediment, the quality is generally lower than light‑caught scad, with more scale loss, belly bruising, and a stronger fishy taste

Light‑caught round scad is considered premium grade, with firmer texture, cleaner appearance, and milder flavor suitable for steaming and grilling. Trawled scad is often graded lower-more suitable for frying, industrial processing, canning, or fishmeal production where appearance and subtle flavor are less critical

Due to its economical price and high protein content, trawled round scad is mainly used for canning (canned scad in sauce/brine), fishmeal production, and as raw material for surimi or frozen seafood mixes. It is the preferred choice for bulk industrial buyers who prioritize volume and cost over premium table‑grade quality
