Frozen Seafood Holds Steadier Than Fresh
Seafood pricing swings more with market conditions than beef, chicken or pork, since supply depends on season and catch volume as much as demand. Fillets, shellfish and whole-muscle cuts are quoted at time of order rather than fixed indefinitely, so a kitchen planning a seafood special should confirm pricing close to the order date. Frozen seafood holds a more stable price and supply than fresh, which is why many restaurant and institutional accounts stock a frozen base layer of shrimp, squid or fillets and supplement with fresh product when a menu calls for it. Cold-chain handling matters even more for seafood than for other proteins, since seafood loses quality fastest outside proper temperature. Our delivery routes hold seafood at temperature from our facility through to your kitchen or counter, whether the order is fresh or frozen. Menus that rotate a seafood special benefit from confirming volume ahead of the menu date rather than ordering at the last minute, since fresh seafood availability can shift week to week.
