All of our seafood is wild-caught locally. We expertly inspect each catch directly from the boats as soon as they land.
With the exception of premium grade tuna and lobster, all of our seafood is delivered vacuum-sealed and frozen by default. That way we are able to preserve the quality and once thawed, the fish will maintain the same taste and texture as when it was originally processed.
The word ‘fresh’ in the seafood industry just means ‘unfrozen’. There is a common misconception among the general public that unfrozen fish = high quality. However, in reality, seafood left unfrozen for extended periods of time is more prone to degradation and harmful bacteria. Many retailers who sell unfrozen fish have had that catch for several days to several weeks.
By harvesting, processing, vacuum-sealing and freezing fish in the shortest turnaround time possible, the freshness of the fish is essentially frozen in time…making it just as good (if not better) than when it was first packaged.
While we make reasonable efforts to remove bones from our filleted fish, it is possible that some fillets may contain small bones. We suggest inspecting fish thoroughly before cooking/serving.
We do not have a physical store. However, you can shop on our online store 24/7 and have your selection delivered directly to your door at your convenience.
