In 1922, he formed "Birdseye Seafood, Inc.", to freeze fish fillets with chilled air at −45 °F (−43 °C). In 1924, he developed an entirely new process for commercially viable quick-freezing: packing fish in cartons, then freezing the contents between two refrigerated surfaces under pressure.
Dried and salted cod. Dried and salted cod, sometimes referred to as salt cod or saltfish or salt dolly, is cod which has been preserved by drying after salting.

While shucked clams, mussels, oysters and scallops can be frozen for up to four months — ditto for crab and lobster meat — crayfish, shrimp and squid can be frozen for a whopping 18 months ...
Rapid freezing, at lower temperatures, gives crystals less time to form and thus does less damage. [12] In 1922, Birdseye conducted fish-freezing experiments at the Clothel Refrigerating Company, and then established his own company, Birdseye Seafoods Inc., to freeze fish fillets with chilled air at −43 °C (−45 °F). In 1924, his company ...
Fish preservation is the method of increasing the shelf life of fish and other fish products by applying the principles of different branches of science in order to keep the fish, after it has landed, in a condition wholesome and fit for human consumption. [1][2] Ancient methods of preserving fish included drying, salting, pickling and smoking.
Food is placed into freezing rooms where the air is cold. Air is either forced ("blasted") onto the food or left static. This setup allows large chunks of food (usually meat or fish) to be more easily processed compared to other methods, but is quite slow. Belt freezers simply put a conveyor belt inside a cold room.
