Fresh fish and live seafood

We offer a specialized service for supplying fresh fish and live seafood, designed to meet the highest culinary standards on cruise ships. From fish markets and farms to the ship’s kitchen, we ensure an impeccable cold chain and optimal conditions for transport, storage, and presentation.

 

Premium Supply from Source to Onboard

From the sea to the table, without losing freshness or flavor

We work directly with fish markets, hatcheries, and specialized suppliers to ensure top-quality fresh fish and live seafood. Our selection and transportation process is optimized to maintain the cold chain or living conditions at all times.

Includes:

  • Fresh catch of the day: local and international species, depending on the cruise season and route.
  • Live seafood in portable aquariums: lobsters, oysters, mussels, clams, and more.
  • Strict quality standards: inspection of appearance, smell, texture, and sanitary certifications.
  • Supply at key ports: synchronized with the ship’s itinerary to ensure maximum freshness.

Each delivery is planned to coincide with onboard gourmet cooking days or special events such as gala dinners, showcooking, or exclusive culinary experiences.

At sea, excellence begins at the source. Thanks to a carefully designed supply chain and partnerships with trusted suppliers, we ensure that every fresh fish and live seafood arrives onboard in impeccable condition. This dedication not only guarantees a high-level gastronomic experience but also transforms every dish into a celebration of the sea, perfect for enhancing the most special moments of the cruise.

Optimal Preservation and Tailored Logistics

Intelligent Systems to Keep the Taste of the Sea Intact

We understand that transporting and preserving seafood at sea is a challenge. That’s why we implement specialized technology and protocols to maintain the highest standards of freshness.

Our infrastructure includes:

  • Separate refrigerated and frozen chambers: Our cold storage systems are designed to preserve the freshness and quality of fish from the moment of embarkation. Refrigerated chambers maintain temperatures between 0–4 °C for fresh species, while frozen chambers reach up to -18 °C for products requiring long-term storage.

  • Portable Saltwater Tanks: We have portable aquariums with circulating saltwater, designed to keep shellfish alive throughout the journey on board. These tanks replicate the natural conditions of the marine habitat, regulating temperature, oxygenation, and salinity.

  • Insulated Boxes and Oxygenated Containers: Transportation from the point of origin to embarkation is carried out using specialized equipment: high-performance insulated boxes for fresh fish, and oxygenated containers with seawater for live shellfish.

  • Real-Time Humidity and Temperature Control: In both refrigerated chambers and nurseries, humidity and temperature levels are continuously monitored using sensors connected to a central platform.

  • FIFO Rotation and Batch Traceability: We strictly apply the FIFO (First In, First Out) method, prioritizing the use of the oldest product to prevent waste and ensure every dish is prepared with ingredients at their peak. Each batch is recorded with entry date, supplier, product type, and storage location, allowing full traceability from origin to the onboard kitchen.

Our technical team works closely with the chef and crew to ensure that each product arrives just in time and in perfect condition for preparation.
