The surimi
forum is the only seafood industry activity I’ve attended (in person or via teleconference) which actually
creates an environment for participants to consider the “greater good”
for all involved.

Your Surimi
school was excellent. I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to attend your school, and to share information about our industry. It’s not often in a 3 day class that you actually get the opportunity to perform the lab work that goes along with the Surimi making process. Your staff was excellent, they were a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. You have taught them well. It was a pleasure to work
with everyone.

I
thought it was a great forum this year - even though it was not very good news
for the surimi industry. I am hoping we turn
things around in the US this year. Thanks for your diligent efforts for
our industry.

While the Forum was excellent, the spirit inside it, which YOU
GENERATE, is absolutely GREAT. Your excellent sense of humor,
and your very honest and professional approach, have made my short stay
very very pleased and useful.
I do hope that you and your colleagues can continue making such a
good job.

found the Forum and School extremely helpful, providing me with a detailed
insight into 'surimi' and look forward to be
attending future Forums.

Food and hotel were very
good.
Microwave cooking lab
session is too much sales talk.
Smaller lab group is
needed.
The microwave session
seemed to focus more on selling than accurate comparisons with water bath
samples
Since 1997 when last
attended the school, many useful topics have been included, such as Pollock surimi production and many other species used. I can bring many things back to my vessel and
to my company from attending this session.
Thanks Jae and all involved. See
you at the Forum next year.
Hello Jae,
