SuperFrozen seafood offers advantages over fresh seafood for restaurants and consumers. The technique involves flash freezing seafood to -76°F within hours of catching, halting all biological and chemical activity. This allows the seafood to be preserved similar to the moment it was caught. SuperFrozen seafood has a longer shelf life than fresh, remains free of decomposition, and provides a consistent product at a consistent price. It is a more practical solution than fresh seafood which can take weeks to arrive from the oceans and often must be treated with carbon monoxide to disguise its age.
