1. Pay attention to the origin and quality of the product:

When buying frozen seafood, the most important thing is to pay attention to the origin of the product. Please carefully review the information on the packaging about quality ingredients, ensuring food safety and not using toxic preservatives.

2. Choose products with certification stamps and professional packaging:

Each frozen seafood product has a certification stamp of origin and quality, helping you feel secure about the origin and production process. Professional packaging also helps preserve products better.

3. Choose healthy seafood:

A variety of frozen seafood available cold such as red shrimp Atlantic, French toothfish, tuna, fish roe, scallops, brown crab... ensures delicious taste and easy to process.

4. Check the freezing condition and color:

When buying frozen seafood, pay attention to check whether the product is melted and whether the freezing condition is uniform. The color of seafood should also be beautiful and natural.

5. Store and use properly:

After buying frozen seafood, if you do not use it immediately, you need to store the product in the freezer at the appropriate temperature. When processing, the product should be thawed gradually in the refrigerator to ensure the best flavor and quality are retained.

6. Things to keep in mind when buying frozen seafood

• You should choose to buy at reputable stores and brands with clear origins, ensuring product quality.
• Do not buy seafood that has been opened, torn, crumpled or feels soft.
• You should not buy packages of frozen meat and fish that are not firm and the fish body cannot be bent.
