From the deck
Every listing names the region, the boat and the day it landed.
Landing to packing
Named on every listing
Cold chain, explained
No mystery ice, no re-frozen stock. Here is exactly what happens between the deck and your door.
Slurry ice goes on within minutes of landing, so the flesh never sits warm.
Fillets are portioned the morning they ship, never pre-cut and held.
Vacuum sealed with a region card naming the boat and the landing date.
Every box carries a cold-chain check and a live tracking link.

The cod arrived colder than my fridge. Cooked it that night and it was perfect.
I finally know which region my mussels came from. That alone sold me.
The packing notes told me exactly how long to steam them. No guesswork.
