Frozen seafood has many benefits you may not be aware of including the locked-in taste and texture of seafood which was frozen at the peak of freshness.
Learn More
Since seafood is frozen at its peak of freshness, flavor, nutrition and texture are locked in.
Frozen seafood has less risk of cold chain management issues, leading to potential food safety concerns.
In many cases, frozen seafood does not require expedited air and ground shipping across the globe, resulting in less energy usage.
Frozen seafood is generally less expensive than fresh given reduced shipping costs.
Frozen seafood is generally more efficient given less waste from spoilage throughout the supply chain.
As the global population grows resulting in increased demand for seafood, there is mounting pressure on the world’s wild fish stocks. Responsibly-farmed seafood can help alleviate this pressure on wild fish stocks as well as the environment.
Supply
The growing global population and increased demand for seafood is putting pressure on wild fish stocks. Longer-term, there may not be enough naturally-occurring seafood in our oceans to continue to catch it wild, without harming these natural populations.
Environment
Responsibly-farmed seafood helps minimize some of the potential negative environmental impacts of commercial fishing, including boat pollution, lost and broken nets and by-catch, thereby better protecting the populations of other species who live in the oceans, like dolphins.
Diet
Farmed seafood is raised in controlled settings with controlled diets. In addition, farmed seafood is usually fed a diet which is generally more nutrient-dense, requiring them to consume less overall than wild caught. By controlling the diet, seafood farmers can control nutrients closely to help keep the fish healthy.
Certifications
Not all farmed seafood is sustainable, however, so look for sustainability certifications, like the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), so you know your seafood was sourced responsibly.
STORAGE
Salmon should be kept in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. If you intend to cook the salmon within 2 days, store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 38°F or below. Otherwise, store it in the freezer. Very slight thawing of frozen salmon may be safely re-frozen with no perceptible loss of quality or nutritional value. However, it is not recommended to re-freeze completely thawed salmon.
THAW
Salmon should be kept frozen until ready to use. Always remove salmon from package BEFORE being thawed. Simply remove from packaging, place on plate or shallow pan, cover and thaw in refrigerator for 8-10 hours. To ensure maximum food safety and flavor and to preserve texture, never allow salmon to thaw at room temperature or place in water to thaw.
