How To Have Fresh Fish Shipped

By Larry Baker


Seafood offers a wide variety of nutrients and vitamins. They have high iron content and Omega 3 fatty acids which are important for developing children and their bones, and generally everyone. Since there are places, and in some instance countries, that do not have water bodies where they can acquire fish, having Fresh Fish Shipped is the only way they can acquire it.

To access fresh seafood that has been shipped, a consumer can visit their local market to see if it is available. Others can go online and look for shipping services. There are many companies which deal with shipping. When going for the online traders, there are critical factors that you should keep in mind, to guide you in selecting the best one.

As you make your list for freighters, list the ones that are certified to handle regular delivery procedures. They should be equipped with appropriate stowage amenities, be in close proximity to you to shorten delivery time. The company should be conversant with the international shipping regulations and follow them to the point.

The shipper should have proper certification for sanitary matters. Fish is very delicate and if not handled in a hygienic place, may get infected and even create problems when consumed by the customer. If certified, that assures you that your product is in safe environment. If shipping from neighboring countries, or continents, the delivery service should find out regulations set by the recipient country and make sure they meet them to avoid issues after the product has arrived.

Seafood is generally perishable if kept in unexceptional environments. This means that they should be packed properly. Packing methods should be able to resist natural processes like melting and leaking during delivery. Good packing will make the overall product look appealing to the eye and the customer will feel gratified when they receive their product as it will have maintained quality.

Shipping companies can use insulating materials when transporting. There are some insulators that are reusable. Insulators help extend product life and some even reduce shipping charges because they are less voluminous. When selecting insulation material, one should put in mind that the fish may spend not less than 24 hours outside of refrigeration area during the shipping. For this, the use of lightweight insulation material that reflects back heat is advised.

Another factor of high significance when shipping is labeling. As a freight company, you want to make sure that the right product reaches its rightful owner. This means that perfect labeling should be done to allow for the easy categorization of products. It also means that products will be kept in the right places to avoid them perishing during the journey. Customers will also be able to identify the product they order when the go to pick them up or when it reaches them wherever.

With seafood being highly nutritious and highly perishable at the same time, acquiring them when fresh is paramount. Nothing tastes better than fresh seafood when professionally cooked. Just because you do not live near a fish source should not be a reason for you to miss out on enjoying this delicious meal.
