Our Seafood Buying & Distribution Process
Buyers focused on building relationships and expectations with suppliers/partners worldwide. Over years of buying, accepting or rejecting fish our suppliers have become accustomed to the quality standards we demand.
Receiving team checking in every fish/product and promptly rejecting items with quality issues or temperature abuse. Nothing comes into the facility without a thorough inspection.
Receiving team stores every species in a way to optimize the quality of the product. For example: snapper being lined in a vat as they swim so the ice and weight of fish above doesn’t affect the integrity of the fillet.
Fish processing is done under refrigeration in minimal time. Fish will be pulled from the cooler under ice, processed under refrigeration and finished product re-iced within 30 minutes.
All delivery trucks are equipped with refrigeration and product is always delivered under ice. Our drivers log the temperature of the truck at each stop they make, ensuring proper handling from our facility to your kitchen.
When it comes to fresh fish, no one does it better than New England Wholesale Fish & Lobster. The dedication in every part of the process ensures we are providing our customers with the very best quality seafood available that day. Following our best practices while handling fresh fish makes a difference you can see and taste, giving us the ability to be the premier Florida wholesale seafood distributor.
