Fish and seafood were traditionally stored and shipped using wooden crates until the extensive use of plastics changed things. Wooden crates have a nostalgic and traditional feel to them. The founders of Seafood Crate grew up watching seafood being transported in wooden crates. We pay homage to that in our crate’s design. We call it a crate instead of a box because, for us, it is something more special than just a box of seafood.
