  • Frequently Asked Questions

Is your fish fresh or frozen?

Our fish is flash frozen at peak freshness, locking in quality, flavour and nutrients from the start.


Does freezing affect the quality?

No. Flash freezing preserves the quality, flavour and nutritional value of the fish at its best.


Why is your fish frozen?

Our fish is flash frozen at peak freshness to lock in quality, flavour, nutrients and convenience. This ensures a consistently premium product and allows you to enjoy fish when it suits you.


How long can I keep the fish in the freezer?

Our fish can be stored at -18°C for up to 12 months. For best quality, we recommend enjoying it within 3–6 months.


How should I store my fish?

Keep products frozen at -18°C or below until ready to use.

Once thawed, products should not be refrozen.


How do I thaw the fish?

For best results:
• Thaw overnight in the fridge
• Or thaw under cold running water
• Avoid warm water or microwaving


Can I refreeze the fish once thawed?

We do not recommend refreezing fish once it has been fully thawed.


Is your fish Kosher or Halal?

Many of our products are certified Kosher and/or Halal. Certification details can be found on individual product pages or by contacting us directly.


Where is your fish sourced from?

We source from trusted local and international suppliers, including Norwegian salmon, to ensure consistent premium quality.


Do you sell fresh fish?

We specialise in premium flash-frozen fish. Flash freezing locks in freshness at its peak and often results in a better-quality product than fish that has spent several days in transit.

Will my fish contain bones?

While every effort is made to remove bones, fish is a natural product and may occasionally contain bones.
