Hi Shrimper,
I'm also in Seafood Processing. We do imported products from our overseas suppliers, and we have one domestic plant here. We work with Soft Shell Crab, VA Crab Products, VA Shrimp Products, and VA Soft Shell Crabs, and Crab Meat.
My biggest confusion is how to trace our soft-shell crabs, since the crabs are commingled between watermen once we receive them into our plant for grading AND crabs are commingled between harvests out in the shanties while they watermen wait for them to molt. If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful.
As far as resources, the NFI has a lot of resources (though I'm still confused on a lot, they are a lot of help, reach out to them if your company is a subscribing member, they can help answer questions).
