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.

There is an ever increasing number of retailers on the web who offer every type of fish and shellfish. They normally provide photos and descriptive text about each variety. The discerning consumer can be tempted by luxuries such as caviar or exotic sushi cuts. For the everyday shopper there are plenty of fillets of tuna, cod, halibut ad much more to choose from.

Sushi lovers can purchase in one of two ways; pre-prepared or fillets ready to make your own. Sushi is increasingly popular and many outlets will have side dishes, spices and accompaniments that can be delivered to you along with the fish. One stop shopping for a great meal which is healthy and tasty.

Ordering seafood from these companies is not as expensive as one may think. One pound of salmon will cost approximately twenty five dollars with a fresh lobster working out at around forty dollars per pound. Bear in mind that some companies will have a minimum order value and it is worth checking this before ordering.

Once you have chosen your seafood, you may wish to buy a bottle of wine to go along with it and made sites offer this service. There are also helpful hints and tips on cooking your purchase to perfection and many will also offer spice packs or sauces to perfectly compliment your purchase. Often the site will have a recipe section and many ideas for creating a superb dish. Should you need further help or advice there should also be contact details such as email or phone numbers.

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.

Once the ordering process is complete and payment confirmed your order will be dispatched. Specially designed and sealed polystyrene boxes containing ice packs or gel packs will keep the product chilled during transit. It is important that once delivered you should keep the product properly stored in a refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to use it. Should you need to return the produce for any reason, details for this should be provided on the website or by the courier.
