    Benefits of Superfreezing Seafood

    By superfreezing our fresh seafood, in special ultra-cold -60°C freezers, we are able to lock in the freshness and texture of our sushi-grade seafood, while also allowing you to store our products in your conventional freezer for later consumption.

    Also, to help many of our customers, most of our superfrozen seafood is shipped out in 8oz portions so you can order more at one time to save on shipping costs, and so you can thaw only the amount you need.

    What if I prefer fresh seafood?

    Although superfrozen seafood is extremely convenient for many of our customers, some people still prefer fresh seafood.

    If you would prefer fresh cuts, feel free to reach out to place a custom order with us.

    Note: "Fresh (never frozen)" seafood needs to be consumed as soon as possible. Do not re-freeze seafood as this will ruin the integrity of the fish.

    contact us

    Time your defrost process to a couple of hours before your meal for the optimal outcome.

    Yes and no. Yes, you can refreeze it for a future cooking preparation. No, if you plan on using it for raw preparation.

    Yes! We suggest that most super-frozen products may be stored in a conventional freezer for up to 2 months upon usage.

    The United States is late to the game... Many countries, including Japan, depend on this technology to assure minimal loss in quality and maximum gain in shelf life.

    A perfect Fish---

    My Fish.....arrived ...perfectly wrapped and scaled...gutted and cleaned. After rinsing it off ...it appeared as fresh as if caught hours before. I love red snapper and like to cook it very simply as on a beach in Mexico or the Caribbean. For this I simply roasted over a fire searing the outside skin.....Not wanting to ruin the very delicate flavor of the Fish.I made a creole sauce with Okra and peppers etc...very spicy to accompany the fish as a side. Simple white rice. Of course some Quintessential maduro Plantains Baked as opposed to frying...the meal needs something sweet on the side. I have also used a good indian Chutney when no Plantains. For the fish..I peeled off the burnt skin and drizzled the white meat with a bit of lime......salt and pepper....bueno probecho...that's as good as it gets with out flying somewhere.
