Fresh Seafood Online Is A Great Buy

By Carolyn Anderson


One of the jewels of the sea is its abundant resources, especially when it comes to food. Many people buy their seafood from a local grocer, but those could have been sitting around for days before you actually buy them. If you want really fresh fish but live nowhere near the ocean, you should buy fresh seafood online to get the freshest catch shipped directly to your front door.

You may think that the seafood you buy from the case at the grocery store is fresh, but that is simply not always the case. In some cases, the fish will sit for days before anyone buys it. When you order online, you are getting food that was packed and frozen at peak freshness to ensure it tastes like it was just pulled from the sea.

Some people would not think to order fresh groceries online, because they are afraid they would go bad during shipping. The good news is these online ordering companies pack the fish with plenty of ice packs in a cooler, so everything gets to still frozen. You will not have to worry about melting or food poisoning.

Generally, your order is packed and shipped with a few days. Once it is shipped, it should only take a day or two to get to you. That is, unless you order on the weekend. Weekend orders are generally not packed or shipped until Monday, so that it can be delivered in a timely manner. This is because may carriers will not deliver packages on a Saturday, and there is no mail on Sunday, so to avoid your seafood being left on a hot truck somewhere, it will not pack or ship till at least Monday.

There is so much to look through on an online seafood website. Whole fish is among the many offerings, because some people love descaling and deboning fish all on their own. They may use leftover parts like heads and bones to boil down and make fish stock. Or perhaps they just want to practice their knife skills. Either way, it is cheaper to buy whole rather than filets.

If whole fish is not your thing, then you can go for the convenience of filets or fish steaks. These are already cut and have the bones removed. In some cases the skin is removed too, though you can order certain cuts with the skin on if that is your preferred taste or texture.

Shellfish are quite popular, especially shrimp and prawns. Oysters and scallops are other examples of highly popular and tasty fare that you can easily purchase online. Lobster and crabs are also available, though some varieties may be a seasonal offering only.

Many internet stores also have prepared dishes made of seafood. These are very convenient because you just need to heat and eat or serve. These are also great for dinner parties to impress your guests and make you the hero. All of this with very little work on your part, aside from putting them in an oven or microwave.
