And because our facilities are set up to keep seafood<\/a> in its optimal condition, there’s no doubt that it’s been\u00a0properly\u00a0stored and cared for at every moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These high standards are a far cry from your average fish seller because our seafood<\/a> doesn’t go through networks of middlemen, and they aren’t kept in the variable conditions of a physical store, where lighting, packaging, and temperature can affect the quality of the product. Additionally, all of our seafood<\/a> is sourced responsibly and sustainably according to the rigorous guidelines set by FreshDirect with the guidance of the Marine Stewardship Council and the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch. So you can feel confident that what’s on your plate is what’s best for the ocean, the environment, and you. Add in the wide selection of seafood<\/a> items that our experts have curated, including many specialty<\/a>\u00a0products<\/a> rarely seen in stores, and you’ve got a seafood<\/a> department that goes beyond anything you’ve encountered before. The moment you unwrap your\u00a0seafood<\/a>\u00a0delivered by FreshDirect<\/a>, you’ll see and taste the difference made by our high standards and total dedication.<\/span><\/p>

Arctic Char<\/a> & Steelhead<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Arctic char<\/a> and steelhead<\/a> are two great salmon alternatives that are available fresh year-round. FreshDirect sources these fish from land-based farms in Iceland<\/a>, where they are raised responsibly and\u00a0without the use of antibiotics, hormones, or chemicals. The farm operates with a carbon-neutral footprint, powered by the geothermal energy afforded by Iceland\u2019s unique geological landscape. Once harvested, the char<\/a> and steelhead<\/a> are flown to us on a short flight, then delivered to you just a few hours later.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cod<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

We love cod<\/a> for its flaky texture and mild, delicate flavor profile, making it versatile for any cook method or seasoning combination. FreshDirect sources\u00a0cod<\/a> directly from our partner IceMar<\/a>, a family-owned fishery in Iceland, rooted in tradition and commitment to sustainability. This fish is responsibly wild-caught and flown directly to JFK before heading straight to FreshDirect, their first fresh customer in the US. We’re proud to be able deliver to you the very best example of this popular fish in the shortest time possible from when it was caught.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"Local Oysters<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Great Gun Oyster Co. provides us with a perfectly sweet and briny oyster <\/a>of its namesake, raised right in our backyard in Long Island. They partner with marine biologists from Stony Brook University to study the impact of raising Great Gun oysters<\/a> alongside kelp, increasing biodiversity, promoting marine health, and carrying on a part of local New York history. Thanks to this local partnership, we’re able to deliver oysters<\/a> to you in very little time from when they’re harvested.<\/span><\/p>

Ocean Perch<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

One of our favorites, ocean perch<\/a> is a unique yet versatile fish that is great for introducing seafood to young or picky eaters. The flesh is mild tasting, but will soak up any flavors thrown at it, and is great simply pan-seared or in simmered in a stew or light broth. Like our cod, we source perch<\/a> directly from our partner IceMar in Iceland, where this fish is sustainably wild-caught and delivered to us on a short 4-hour flight, then delivered directly to your door.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wild Salmon<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Our wild sockeye<\/a>, coho<\/a>, and king<\/a> salmon<\/a> come from the untamed rivers of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, where they migrate upstream to spawn as the waters warm. They’re only available fresh during the summer season, although we do carry them frozen<\/a>\u00a0at other times of the year. FreshDirect partners with small, family-run fisheries to ensure our salmon<\/a> is the freshest and highest quality available. The fish populations are responsibly managed by local authorities to ensure the runs are able to return for years to come. Each fish is unique and beloved for its own texture and flavor profile. We love the sockeye for its signature deep red color and firm texture, king salmon for its buttery texture and delicate taste, and the coho salmon for its mild and fresh flavor profile. Not all grocers are able to offer the range of wild and fresh salmon<\/a> that we do, but FreshDirect makes delivery easy for your favorite salmon cut and variety.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"Day Boat Scallops<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Our sea scallops<\/a> are wild caught off the coast of New Bedford, MA and Barnegat Light, NJ in the Atlantic Ocean. These scallop<\/a> boats fish daily, so they’re always delivered to you fresh in the least amount of time possible. Because these are “dry” scallops<\/a>, meaning they’re never treated with sodium tripolyphosphate or other chemicals often used to enhance scallops’ appearance, they’ll give you a beautiful golden sear and won’t be too watery when cooked properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Patagonian Shrimp<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Patagonian shrimp<\/a> are wild-caught in the pristine, cold waters off the coast of Argentina and are unlike any other shrimp<\/a> in flavor and texture. Their natural diet results in a sweet flavor and almost lobster-like texture. Because they feast on what’s available in their natural habitat, they’re free of GMOs, so you can be sure that you’re only getting shrimp<\/a> delivered that are sourced according to the highest standards. Cook them simply and serve with some fresh herbs\u2014that’s all you need to let these special shrimp shine. FreshDirect makes delivery easy for a wide variety of shrimp<\/a>, so you can get the best of this always-popular seafood<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Swordfish<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

We import wild-caught swordfish<\/a> directly from the coasts of Nova Scotia from our partner, Mood Fisheries. The Mood family has owned and run this company for generations, implementing sustainable fishing methods including harpooning in the summer months, which eliminates by-catch and results in a superior quality and freshness when we deliver their swordfish<\/a> from their boats to you in the fewest steps possible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"Tinned Seafood<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Tinned seafood<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0a much-loved staple in Spain and Portugal and lately, the rest of the world has begun to catch on. Our tinned seafood is responsibly sourced from centuries-old companies in Spain that have perfected the catch and canning process. Our assortment<\/a> includes an array of anchovies, tinned tunas, and specialty items like sweet cockle clams that you can choose from for easy delivery. They\u2019re perfect for any appetizer or to bring new life to a favorite dish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Turbot<\/a><\/span><\/h4>

Turbot<\/a> is the best kept secret of the seafood world, boasting a full flavor and meatiness that other fish can’t match. At FreshDirect, we source turbot from Stolt Sea Farm, who sustainably raise their fish on land-based farms along the coast of Galicia, Spain. Stolt prioritizes the health of the surrounding environment and pulls water directly from the Atlantic Ocean, recycling and returning it to the sea only an hour later. That\u2019s why these turbot<\/a> are as excellent as those from the wild, and remarkably pristine when they’re delivered to you. Turbot<\/a> is perfect roasted whole<\/a> in the oven or on the grill with a bit of herb butter.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
