What is Prerigor?
The term prerigor consists of two parts: pre (which means beforehand) and rigor, referring to the natural rigor mortis process, the stiffness that occurs after death.
Rigor mortis normally develops within a few hours of being caught; pre-rigor salmon is processed before rigor mortis develops. Processing takes place within 4 hours, when the muscles are still completely relaxed.
The salmon is processed immediately, so the stiffening process occurs not in the whole fish, but in the fillet. This results in a product of exceptional quality.
Why is Prerigor Salmon so unique?
Because the fish is filleted and processed before rigor mortis occurs, the salmon optimally retains its structure and cell fluids. This makes pre-rigor salmon exceptionally fresh with a noticeable difference in taste and texture.
The muscle tissue of prerigor salmon is still intact and has retained its natural elasticity. This results in beautifully intact fillets and reduced moisture loss.
Most of the bacteria are found between the scales of the fish, due to the early descaling and processing of the salmon, so soon after catching, prerigor salmon retains a better microbiological profile.
