An apparatus for processing seafood, suitable for use in small ships, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a closed container having an opening and a fluid tight closure to cover the opening. Cooking water and cold brine are stored in separate reservoirs and are maintained at predetermined cooking and freezing temperatures. Seafood is placed into the closed container for processing. Cooking water is continuously circulating through the closed container from the cooking water reservoir to cook the seafood during a cooking cycle. Thereafter, cold brine is continuously circulated through the fluid tight container from the cold brine reservoir to freeze the seafood during a freezing cycle. A rinse cycle can also be employed wherein rinsing water is circulated through the container between the cooking and freezing cycles. Additionally, if just freezing of seafood is desired, the cooking steps of the method and the cooking apparatus may be eliminated.
