Frequently asked questions
How is it packed?

All seafood is individually vacuum-packed or sealed, then placed in insulated boxes with gel ice packs to ensure it stays cold and fresh during transit.
Is it frozen?

If the product title includes the word frozen then yes, otherwise all other seafood listings are fresh. All frozen seafood is flash-frozen at peak freshness immediately after processing, locking in flavour, texture, and nutrients.
Can I freeze or refreeze?

Frozen seafood: Once thawed, do not refreeze; keep refrigerated and use within 24hrs.

Fresh seafood: Freeze as soon as possible and within 24 hours of delivery for best quality.
What if I’m not home?

If no one is available at the delivery address, your order will be placed in the location on your delivery notes. We recommend leaving clear instructions for a shady cool spot to avoid spoilt deliveries.
How long will it stay fresh?

Fresh seafood: Consume within 48 hours of delivery for best quality. Fresh Seafood may last up to 5 days from packing.

Frozen seafood: Can be stored at -18°C or below for several months, depending on the product. Check the packaging for specific storage periods.
How do I thaw it?

Frozen seafood: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or in a sealed bag under running cold water. Avoid microwaving or warm water.

Fresh seafood: Ready to use, keep refrigerated until cooking.
