Advice On Buying Fresh Seafood Online

By Diane Roberts


Many people around the world enjoy fish and shellfish as part of their diet. Supermarkets and fish mongers are available in many towns and cities but more people now choose to order their fresh seafood online. With the health benefits fish provides and so much choice there is something there to suit every ones tastes.

Hundreds of online retailers can be found selling these products with pictures and descriptions of each type of fish and shellfish. With popular items such as salmon, cod and Dover sole on offer and fresh oysters and lobster there is something to suit every ones palate. Also available are luxuries such as caviar, octopus and calamari.

In the past few years sushi has become far more common place for diners and this can also be ordered online. Separate fillets can be sourced or pre prepared rolls ordered ready for the table. The online retailers also offer accompanying items and spices which are dispatched with your order to make life a little easier.

Buying fresh fish and shellfish does not necessarily have to be an expensive business. A pound fillet of cod or halibut will come in at around twenty five dollars per pound and will be portioned as to your requirements. It is worth noting that many of these sellers will require you to place a minimum value order so it is worth doing a little research first.

Alongside the fresh food these companies have on their lists other products such as seasoning packs, sauce mixes and occasionally fine wines are featured. Most of the web pages will also have recipes that can be followed and hints and tips from chefs on how best to prepare and cook the fish. Contact details will also be on hand if any questions need to be asked before placing an order and completing the purchase.

When you have browsed the pages and selected your chosen items there are a couple of things to take into account before confirming. All of these products will be delivered to the home or workplace but on a low value order this can be quite costly due to shipping costs. A minimum value parcel approximately 5 pounds in weight will typically cost around thirty dollars to send by courier.

Nearly all of the established online retailers will offer free shipping depending on the value of the order. There are also coupons that can be redeemed online to save you money on your purchases. Many sites will also allow you to sign up to a newsletter which will notify their customers of any special deals and offers that are available that month.

After making payment and confirming delivery address details, the fresh products will be packed in ice gel packs or sometimes ice. After being placed in special polystyrene containers and wrapped and sealed they will usually be dispatched for next day delivery to your chosen destination and should be chilled on arrival. If for any reason any produce has to be returned details for this will be provided.
