Add the frozen protein into the sink.

Step 2

Place a label on the sink with the name of the product and the start time

Let the excess water flow into the middle sink 

This can be done on both the far left and far right sinks at the same time

Step 3

When the fish has thawed let the sink drain

Step 4

Once all the excess water has been allowed to run off, place the product into a metal pan with a drain shelf
