How to choose the right frozen seafood

The best frozen seafood choice depends on the dish, how much preparation you want to do and whether you are shopping for home or professional use.

Choose by meal

Salmon and seabass can work well as plated fish portions, while prawns, shrimp and scallops can be useful in pasta, rice dishes, curries and starters.

Check the product format

Look at whether the seafood is supplied as fillets, loins, portions, shell-on products, peeled shellfish or prepared products.

Check pack size

Some seafood products are supplied in formats better suited to larger households, restaurants or caterers. Always review the current pack specification.

Check allergens and ingredients

Fish, crustaceans and molluscs are important allergens. Prepared seafood products may also contain additional ingredients and allergens. Always check the product label and current product page.
