Seafood Handling

Fresh Seafood Shipping

At Anderson Seafoods, we’re transforming the online seafood shopping experience. We prioritize quality and freshness, which is reflected in our innovative packaging and shipping methods.

  • Rigorous Testing: Our team collaborated with UPS for over a year, conducting shock and impact tests under extreme temperatures and humidity to develop the best shipping solutions.

  • Hand-Selected Quality: Each fresh and frozen seafood order is hand-selected at our state-of-the-art facility and packaged in eco-friendly containers designed to maintain optimal temperatures.

Packaging Features

  • Recycled Materials: Our exterior boxes are made from 40% post-consumer recycled materials and have undergone extensive UPS testing.
  • Temperature Control: An eco-friendly liner inside the box helps maintain temperature and prevents leakage.
  • Cryovac-Sealing: Fresh seafood is Cryovac-Sealed to minimize damage and moisture loss. Frozen seafood is enclosed in plastic bags.
  • Cold Packs: We include cold packs in only fresh orders to ensure the internal temperature remains optimal.
  • Controlled Environment: All packaging occurs in a 38-degree environment to guarantee your seafood arrives in pristine condition.

 

Handling Instructions:


  • To ensure the best quality of your perishable products, please follow these guidelines:

    • Refrigeration & Freezing:
      • Refrigerate or freeze perishable items upon receipt.
      • Slightly thawed sealed portions can be refrozen without loss of quality or nutritional value.
    • Smoked Salmon:
      • Unopened vacuum-packed smoked salmon has a refrigerated shelf life of 2 weeks.
      • Once opened, consume within 3 days.
    • Caviar:
      • Store caviar at 28°F - 30°F.
      • An unopened jar will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks in the refrigerator.
      • Opened caviar should be consumed within 2-3 days.
    • Fresh Seafood:
      • Fresh seafood packages have a refrigerated shelf life of 3 days.
      • Consume frozen seafood within 1 day of thawing or keep it frozen.

    Proper Defrosting

    • Defrost frozen seafood by placing it in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, depending on the density.
    • Important: Never force thaw by running it under water, as this can cook the product, reduce flavor, and pose health risks.

    Thank you for choosing Anderson Seafoods for your fresh and frozen seafood needs!
