THE COLD JOURNEY
Temperature, held without compromise.
01
Inspection before packing
Condition, seal and label are checked, and the required chilled or frozen state is confirmed and recorded before packing.
02
Chilled at 5 degrees or below
Product requiring refrigeration is held at 5 degrees or below in transit, with time outside temperature control kept to a practical minimum.
03
Frozen remains frozen
Frozen product is held frozen through storage and delivery. Move it directly to the freezer on arrival, ideally at minus 18 or colder.
04
Insulation matched to the route
Liner and cold media are selected for the product, season and distance, keeping sealed packs clear of meltwater.
Shelf life and limits depend on the product itself. Where the pack and this page disagree, the pack is correct. Assess anything that arrives damaged or too warm before using it.
SERVE IT SIMPLY
Method, matched to form.
The ingredient is already good. Heat, salt and timing are all that is needed, and restraint is the technique.
FILLETS, SKIN SIDE DOWN
Pat fillets fully dry with paper towel. Lightly salt the skin. Place skin-side down on a hot pan and leave undisturbed to crisp the skin. Flip for only a short moment at the end to finish cooking the flesh, locking in juicy flavour.
SHELLFISH, CHILLED
Serve chilled without heavy sauces. A squeeze of fresh citrus and soft herbs is all you need. Keep dressing minimal to preserve the natural briny sweetness from the ocean.
SHELLFISH, STEAMED
Steam gently following package instructions. Finish with fresh herbs once done. Spoon over some of the reserved cooking liquor to amplify the rich, natural seafood flavour.
