When we say “from the waters to your door,” we mean it! Here’s how you get seafood from Seafood Crate:
Caught in the sea -> Processed, packed, and shipped to wholesaler (like Inter-Canada Fisheries) -> Vacuum-packed and shipped to your door.
Compare that to how you get seafood at a grocery store or fish market:
Caught in the sea -> Processed, packed, and shipped to wholesaler -> Shipped to store -> Cut/reprocessed, repackaged, and placed on the shelf -> Sits on the shelf -> You go and buy it.
There are two key reasons why Seafood Crate is the freshest option. 1.) All the time that is required to send the seafood to the retailer and the time it sits on the shelf is eliminated. 2.) Vacuum-packing our seafood locks in the freshness. In a grocery store or fish market, fish is cut and sits out oxidizing for who knows how long. Oxidization is what causes loss of freshness, taste, and nutritional value.
Our subscription model enables us to order the exact amount of seafood we need. We receive our seafood direct from our suppliers on Monday. We process it and immediately vacuum-pack it. Then we ship it to you in an insulated box with ice packs that keep your seafood cool and fresh.
If you can think of any other way to get the freshest possible seafood, please let us know and we will be happy to implement it!
