Answer:
THIS IS DONE TO PRESERVE FOOD AND INCREASE THE SHELF LIFE AND SUSTAIN THE NUTRIENTS AND TASTE OF THE FISH.
Explanation:
WHEN WE KEEP THE FISH IN ICE THEN THE GROWTH OF MICROBES IS INHIBITED TO A GREAT EXTENT AS MICROORGANISMS CANNOT GROW IN COLD CONDITIONS. SECONDLY, IF WE STORE THE FISH IN SALTED ICE, THEN THE GROWTH OF THE MICROBES IS STOPPED TO A FURTHER GREAT EXTENT. AS, SALT ALSO IS A FOOD PRESERVATIVE AND CHECKS THE GROWTH OF MICROBES.
THUS BY STORING FISH IN SALTED ICE WE EXTEND THE SHELF LIFE TO A GREATER EXTENT.
