Exporting Barramundi Fillets to Australia: Indonesia Seafood’s Surabaya Processing (Dec 2024–Jan 2025)

During the period of December 2024 to January 2025, Indonesia Seafood completed a premium frozen seafood export shipment from Surabaya, Indonesia, to our Australian customer, Mr. Craig. The order included a mix of high-demand fillet and whole-fish products prepared through our fresh-to-frozen processing system and delivered under a strict cold-chain export flow.

This shipment reflects our ongoing role as a frozen seafood exporter from Indonesia, supplying Australia with consistent quality, export compliance, and reliable volume for wholesale distribution.

Processing in Surabaya: Fresh-to-Frozen Export Standard

All products for this shipment were processed in our Surabaya seafood processing facility, where raw fish is handled through a controlled export-grade system:

  • Fresh intake and rapid chilling to preserve texture and color

  • Hygienic filleting rooms with trained cutters and trimming standards

  • IQF / blast freezing for fast core-temperature lock

  • Quality control checkpoints across filleting, glazing, packing, and labeling

  • Cold chain logistics maintained at export temperature until container loading

As an Indonesian seafood processing company aligned with HACCP and Halal standards, Indonesia Seafood ensures every carton meets international buyer requirements.

Ideal for Australian wholesalers, retailers, and HORECA suppliers.
