Most
seafood sold as "fresh" at retail is generally
10 to 14 days post harvest? The reason why Western Edge's
retail products are all frozen is our frozen seafood is
fresher than the vast majority of the supposedly "fresh"
seafood being sold. Our products can be sold frozen or
refreshed for your counters.
With our patented Quik-Freze
technology, we vacuum pack our fish within hours of harvest.
Our process locks in peak freshness at the point of catch.
With Western Edge Seafood, your customers are guaranteed
to be eating the finest quality seafood available. We
invite any retailer to compare their fresh to our frozen
seafood.
Frozen
Fact: (from New York Times article, April 8,
2004) Did you know sushi that has not been frozen is illegal
to serve it in the United States? Food and Drug Administration
regulations stipulate that fish to be eaten raw must be
frozen first. "I would desperately hope that all
the sushi we eat is frozen," said George Hoskin,
a director of the agency's Office of Seafood.
