Fresh vs Frozen Seafood: Which Is Better?

Many customers wonder whether fresh or frozen seafood is better. In reality, both can be excellent choices, depending on how the seafood is handled and how you plan to cook it.

Fresh seafood is ideal when it is truly fresh and used quickly. It offers a natural texture and flavour, especially for dishes like steaming, grilling, or hot pot. Fresh seafood should smell clean and have a firm texture.

Frozen seafood can be just as good when it is frozen properly at peak freshness. Modern freezing methods help preserve taste and quality. Frozen seafood is convenient, consistent, and available all year round, making it a reliable option for home cooking.

The key is proper handling. Frozen seafood should be thawed slowly in the fridge and never refrozen once thawed. When treated correctly, good frozen seafood cooks well and tastes great.

At Seafood VNUK, we carefully select both fresh and frozen seafood to ensure quality, safety, and great flavour. This allows customers to choose the option that best suits their cooking needs and lifestyle.
