How to Choose and Store Seafood for the Best Results
What Do We Mean by “Seafood Types”?
Nowadays “seafood” mainly means edible aquatic creatures excluding mammals—so this includes fish, shellfish (crustaceans and mollusks-cephalopods), and some sea-plants.
By “seafood types” we mean categories or groupings of seafood—and the many species in each category. Since we are a global supplier, carrying a broad portfolio of seafood types lets us meet many tastes, cuisines, and shipping needs.
Why Is This Important?
Different types have different textures, flavors, and cooking uses.
Some types are suited to particular methods of shipment and storage.
Knowing the seafood types will help you choose what you really want, wherever you are.
Major Categories of Seafood Types We Offer
Following are some major categories of seafood types, their features, and examples that will help while selecting them:
1. Fish
Special Features of Fish:
In demand all over the world, therefore ideal for export to any part of the globe.
Popular Fish We Supply:
Salmon – flavorful and packed full of omega-3s
Cod/Haddock – classic white fish, great for many cuisines
Mackerel/Sardines – oily fish rich in nutrients
We source from trusted fisheries and farms. Proper cold-chain ensures freshness from the sea to your door.
2. Crustaceans
These are the “shellfish” with hard exoskeletons: shrimps/prawns, crabs, lobsters, crayfish.
Distinctive Features of Crustaceans:
Firm texture with natural sweetness—perfect for gourmet meals.
Shipping can be tricky (live or frozen), but we manage it flawlessly.
Some Crustaceans Available:
Shrimp/prawns: both peeled & deveined and whole
Lobsters: food for special occasions
Why Global Shipping Works for Crustaceans:
They preserve well when properly chilled or frozen.
Excellent performance under controlled air freight packaging.
Ideal for markets with limited local supply.
3. Mollusks
Mollusks include the bivalves (clams, mussels, oysters, scallops) and gastropods (some snails).
Features of Mollusks:
Varied textures like tender scallops and briny oysters.
Common in fine dining and high-class seafood platters.
Shelf life and handling require expertise—and that’s where we specialize.
Examples We Provide:
Scallops – for sautéing and gourmet dishes
Clams – for pasta, soups, and export markets
Because many regions lack local mollusk supplies, we export globally to hotels, resorts, and catering firms. Cold-chain and packaging are adapted for long-haul transport.
4. Cephalopods
Cephalopods include squid, cuttlefish, and octopus. Though less common in some markets, they’re highly prized worldwide.
What Makes Cephalopods Special:
Unique texture and flavor—favored in gourmet and ethnic cuisines.
Long shelf life when frozen, perfect for export.
An excellent way to diversify your seafood types offering.
Examples:
Squid – for frying or Mediterranean dishes
Octopus – premium option for grilling
Cuttlefish – rare but classy
They’re niche yet globally in demand. Selling such products gives you an edge. Our logistics team ensures freezing and packaging for safe transit.
5. Echinoderms & Other Specialty Seafood
This includes sea urchins, sea cucumbers, roe, seaweed, and other aquatic foods.
Why They Matter:
Though niche, they often command higher margins.
Examples We Provide:
Uni (sea urchin roe) – for upscale sushi and marine markets
