as well that they can be sell as a ready cooked on the table for like a takeout Is that correct yes It's going to be both Yes Okay Great So sir what is your um system for maintaining
um proper temperature logs to asssure that the freezers are kept below 41° refrigeration Okay So the freezer we have two thermometers to one is a backup just in case that one
fails and uh we also inspect every morning before I mean when we open that make sure that refrigeration is in good condition is not failing so otherwise we will have to
remove the product bring it to another freezer that we have and then until the technician comes and look it up and then see what's wrong with the with the with the actual with the freezer the freezer
itself and then also when we get the display 10 to 12 feet display uh we have to mod monitor the same way So whoever is in charge or for to taking
care of the customers like a person not dedicated but he will doing something else he will have to check once in a while every hour every half an hour taking temperatures making sure that uh
the product is in uh that the correct temperature and also if it's needed we need to put some ice on top of it just to prevent that the product is in good condition
Do you guys have on place a protocol for that the backup just in case those frozen seafood that are you going to have for selling we have any uh blackout power failure So oh do you have a backup for those seafood that are going to be
storage on the refrigerator that's one of my question And the other one will be is what are the protocol for those food that you have outside there on displays uh any protocol that you have like how often the food had to be changed or had to be replaced back into refrigerator
and be switching back and forth or they don't go uh bad That's correct Yeah So in the cases of blackout if the store is closed let's say that everybody's home So we find out because uh I have a
national grid you know text me if it's a blackout or power failure and then we had to take care our measures either depends on the time that the power was out daily it will be moved from the
display to another cooler that the temperature is even lower than that one but like once Once again if that depends on how long the blackout lasts and then we're going to have to dispose it That's that's the way it is We have for the
frozen ones we have another freezer larger that keeps temperatures minus one I believe it is And then once again that depends on the how
long the blackout last And then we will have to make a decision that's disposit because otherwise it's not good for consume human consume Excellent It sounds like you're on top of this Yes Um
the I'll give you a little suggestion Um we as doctors just like you manage a cold chain for fresh fish we manage cold chains for vaccines And the state which provides us with the majority of our vaccines is
very very vigilant about temperature And what they what we use is a tiny little device which is a temperature data logger Okay and you don't have to it basically will automatically monitor their temperature throughout the day and
throughout the 24 hours Okay and once a day you download download that temperature log to your computer and you can see exactly how that temperature was maintained You can probably even buy a data logger on Amazon I would have to I didn't know about that one Really it it
and when we have small temperature variations the state knows immediately and contacts us and we have to have also a standard operating procedure in the event that we have deviations of those temperature norms which I'm sure in your
plan review and your protocols you have those backup plans Okay So I'm thrilled that you're bringing this to Lawrence We all love fresh fish and we love I love octopus and shellfish Um so I I look
forward to you um opening your business here in Lawrence Um inspector would is there anything that you'd like to add to um have you seen the establishment yet um on the routine inspection and
reinspection they complying town last uh he don't have any violation right now Um yes only they need to re h present the documents to
fishery h office and then they can approve if you approve that Okay great they can approve their perfect So the last thing just be very aware of the all the licenses that you would be required
to have It's not just a food permit but you need the safe serve certificate Yes you need they are in compliance Perfect Because there's a lot of restaurants that are not in compliance but we're working towards bringing people into compliance and trying to be very
