Why does flash freezing make seafood taste better?
|
 |
It's the
combination of flash freezing which keeps the integrity of the
flesh of the fish at time of freezing AND vacuum packing which
halts the seafood's exposure to oxygen. That combination
preserves the freshness and flavor of our seafood until you’re
ready to prepare it for your family.
|
|
What kinds of seafood do you provide?
|
|
We provide the
best of fresh fish in season. Our monthly selections include
salmon, sockeye, coho, king; halibut; snapper, sole, cod,
swordfish, blue marlin, mahi mahi, shark, ahi tuna, prawns,
shrimp, scallops, crabmeat, and lobster.
|
|
How do your prices compare with what I'd expect to pay at a
grocery store?
|
|
Our prices are
in line with high quality grocery stores. And we think you'll
agree our quality is second to none.
|
|
How do you assure quality?
|
|
We are as close
to the source as can be. Vacuum packing seals in the freshness.
Our seafood is vacuum packed immediately after the fish is
caught, guaranteeing unparalleled freshness and flavor.
|
|
How do I know if seafood is really fresh?
|
|
With seafood,
you want to test both texture and smell. With texture, you are
looking for firmness. With smell, you want your seafood to smell
like the sea but not fishy.

|
Why did you start Surfin' Seafood?
|
|
We're in
Seattle, one of the seafood capitals of the world. You want
steaks delivered to your home, try Omaha. You want seafood,
Seattle's the place. We wanted to make high-quality, fresh
seafood available – conveniently and inexpensively – throughout
the area.
|
|
I've read newspaper stories about our oceans being fished out.
Is your seafood ecologically sustainable?
|
|
Our supplier
has a keen focus on purchasing seafood from sustainable
fisheries that help protect our ocean fisheries. The fishing
industry is becoming more and more regulated for sustainability.
However, we can all do our part by altering what we consume,
helping our oceans by eating a variety of seafood.
|
|
How should I thaw my seafood for preparation?
|
|
You can leave
your seafood in the vacuum pack and thaw it in lukewarm water,
either out or in your refrigerator. If you decide to take the
fish out of the vacuum pack, thaw only in a refrigerator.
|
|
What if I have leftovers? Do I throw them out?
|
|
NO! You won't
want to miss a morsel of our wonderful seafood! Eat your
leftovers cold or warm them up for up to four days after
cooking.
|
|
How'd you come up with the name, 'Surfin' Seafood?'
|
|
Well, that's
where family comes in. The name was dreamed up by 7-year-old
Dillon, who had great fun imagining surfing seafood being
delivered door to door! We hope you'll enjoy our seafood as much
as Dillon enjoyed dreaming up the name. And we hope you'll keep
"surfing" up to our web site to browse our selections and place
your order!
|
|
Do I have to order every month?
|
|
We hope you
will! But there's no requirement to place an order every month.
You can place a standing order for a number of months, or order
whenever the whim (or the need for delicious fresh seafood)
strikes you.
|
|
What about high mercury levels in fish? Should I be worried?
|
|
Mercury is
prevalent in certain seafoods but not all, so eating a variety
of different types of fish (like the ones we provide!) will
protect you from any undue exposure. |
