Fishermen use several different methods to freeze raw shrimp at sea. Which method is said to be the best?
  1. Cold brine immersion
  2. Freezing in a solution of sugar and salt
  3. Vertical plate freezing
  4. Air blast freezing
Explanation
Answer: B - Freezing shrimp in a solution of sugar and salt is known to be the best for the shrimp. As well as improving the glaze on the shrimp, it also makes separation of the shrimp easier when they are thawing. Vertical plate freezing is also a preferred method for fishermen, mainly because the shrimp are well protected and less likely to be damaged in transport.
