The Truth About Frozen Seafood
It is a common belief that “fresh, never frozen” seafood is the best. That’s a myth. When seafood is flash frozen at its peak freshness, it will taste the way nature intended. It's far better quality than so-called fresh fish that's spent days or weeks traveling the industrial supply chain to get to your plate.

"We didn’t have a lot of experience with seafood, living in the land-locked prairies. One of our new staple meals has become poke bowls. It’s nice to know where everything in that bowl comes from, and that all of it is good for us, especially the albacore tuna!"

"There is nothing like receiving fresh, wild salmon to enjoy at home, knowing it's been caught locally and with care. Having enjoyed recreational fishing during the summers, I always appreciate what goes into getting a good catch!"

"I learned of Skipper Otto while visiting Vancouver in the spring. We have been involved with Community Supported Agriculture, so making the leap to Community Supported Fisheries was an easy 'leap' to make. We appreciate your work and love your fish. You can appreciate that fine fresh fish is hard to find in Alberta!"
