How does flash-frozen seafood compare to fresh?
Much of the seafood we offer comes to you frozen, so you can enjoy seasonally harvested fish and shellfish any time of the year. Major advances in rapid-freeze technologies mean seafood can be frozen solid in a matter of minutes or hours, which minimizes damage to cell walls, preserving taste, texture, and moisture levels. Freezing fish rapidly and soon after it’s caught locks in flavor and freshness, giving us straight-from-the-sea taste without the risk of spoiling. The result is comparable to—if not better than—fresh seafood. In fact, consumer taste tests conducted by Oregon State University1 consistently put frozen seafood on top. 1: https://ecotrust.org/publication/a-fresh-look-at-frozen-fish/
