Fresh vs. Frozen Seafood - The big debate - Nordic Catch

Fresh vs. Frozen Seafood - The big debate

From a business perspective: Frozen seafood is easier, more cost effective, and more profitable... Nordic Catch doesn't see it that way.

Nordic Catch believes that when it comes to seafood, freshness is key. Nordic Catch understands the importance of delivering the highest quality seafood to your table. That's why they offer fresh seafood that has never been frozen. But why is fresh seafood better than frozen seafood? Let's dive into the reasons.

1. Superior Taste and Texture

Fresh seafood simply tastes better. The flavors are more vibrant, and the texture is more delicate. Freezing seafood alters its taste and texture, resulting in a less enjoyable culinary experience. With Nordic Catch, you can savor the natural, unadulterated flavors of the sea.

2. Higher Nutritional Value

Did you know that fresh seafood contains more nutrients than frozen seafood? When seafood is frozen, some of its nutritional value may be lost. Fresh seafood, on the other hand, retains its full nutritional profile, including essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. By choosing fresh seafood from Nordic Catch Icelandic seafood, you're nourishing your body with the best nature has to offer.

3. Reduced Risk of Contamination

Fresh seafood is less likely to be contaminated compared to frozen seafood. The freezing process can create opportunities for bacteria to thrive, potentially leading to foodborne illnesses. Nordic Catch Icelandic seafood ensures that their fresh seafood is handled with the utmost care and undergoes rigorous quality control measures, minimizing the risk of contamination.

4. Versatility in Cooking

When you have fresh seafood, the cooking possibilities are endless. Fresh fish from Iceland can be grilled, baked, sautéed, or even enjoyed raw in sushi. The natural moisture and delicate texture of fresh seafood allow for a wider range of cooking techniques and flavors. Nordic Catch Icelandic seafood provides you with the freshest ingredients to unleash your culinary creativity.

5. Environmental Sustainability

Choosing fresh seafood over frozen seafood also has environmental benefits. Freezing seafood requires energy and resources, contributing to carbon emissions and environmental degradation. By opting for fresh seafood from Nordic Catch, you're supporting sustainable fishing practices and reducing your carbon footprint.

6. "Superfrozen", "Frozen at peak freshness", "Deep freeze"

All of these marketing terms try to make you believe that frozen seafood is better because they are done at super low temps, or "immediately after catch". Using deep freezers is simply terrible for the environment, and whether frozen today or tomorrow, the fact is, it is still frozen and NOT fresh, changing the entire composition of the fish. And think about it, your conventional freezer does NOT keep the same super low temperature as these commercial deep freezers do, so storage is not guaranteed for long.

So, the next time you're craving seafood, remember the advantages of choosing fresh over frozen. Nordic Catch seafood offers a wide selection of fresh seafood that is never frozen, ensuring that you enjoy the best flavors, nutrition, and quality while making a positive impact on the environment.
