Due to processing times, transport or distribution routes, the seafood you see on display may be up to two weeks old. In this case, fresh simply means that the seafood has never been frozen. We think that's #notsohonest. -
Fresh fish in the fish counter display is often frozen for safe transport and then thawed on site. In other words – fish from the fish counter is often thawed, frozen fish that is no longer quite as fresh. We think that's #notsofresh

The silent crisis underwater: The threat to the seas and their inhabitants
It is wishful thinking that the dazzling variety of fish and seafood is endless. Nevertheless , the hunger for the sea continues to increase.Global overfishing is now seen as one of the most serious problems for the health of the oceans and the survival of their inhabitants. Stock-threatening fishing with destructive equipment, net bycatch , the effects of oil and gas extraction and global shipping traffic are destroying complex ecosystems that are essential for maintaining productive fish stocks. Not to forget microplastic pollution , which also contributes to this problem.
You don't want antibiotics, high stocking densities, overfishing and microplastics to get into your net when buying seafood?
As seafood innovators who farm shrimp ourselves , we know exactly what is important when it comes to seafood. That's why our seafood comes from transparent and environmentally friendly fishing . We value careful fishing methods and only select fish and seafood if their stocks are secure.
On the other hand, we rely on alternative breeding in sustainable aquaculture . The controlled breeding of fish, mussels, crabs, shrimps and algae in salty and sweet water allows our seas to breathe a sigh of relief: the use of antibiotics or chemicals is avoided and instead the use of modern filter and water treatment systems is used, which also avoids bycatch.
Our products go through a careful selection and are tested by the best chefs in the country . You can be sure to get the best curated seafood from us.
Seafood Reality: Fresh is not always fresh
Another widespread belief is:
Fresh seafood = fresh seafood .
But the next time you stand in front of a fish counter, remember this: What you imagine as “fresh” and what the food industry sells as “fresh” may not be the same.
...But why is it like that?
Don't want to miss out on maximum freshness?
Fortunately, the technology does not stop at aquaculture and fishing boats. On many boats, the catch is flash-frozen directly at sea , which means it retains its sensory freshness . But despite this high quality, fair prices are of great importance to us. Fair means that prices are in line with our responsibility towards the environment, animal welfare, quality and the people who deliver this quality.
We understand that price plays a crucial role in your purchasing decision. That's why we have introduced discount scales for higher purchase quantities. It will be worth it, especially if you cook regularly or feed your family. We want to make high-quality, environmentally conscious seafood accessible without compromising on quality and sustainability.
Why frozen seafood preserves sensory freshness
Time stands still with freshness. All of our seafood, apart from the fresh Bavarian shrimp , is frozen. The fact is that freezing seafood in its freshest state stops the quality clock and preserves the taste, texture and nutritional values as much as possible . So you don't have to live right by the water to enjoy high-quality seafood that tastes just as fresh as it was freshly caught.
For us, sensory fresh seafood means that it retains the taste, texture and nutritional values as if it had just been taken from the sea.
Your Freezer: The Key to Fresh Seafood Whenever You Want It
Frozen products have a longer shelf life and are easier to store and prepare . Your freezer is a treasure trove of possibilities. No matter whether you decide on a quick decision for a delicious seafood dish or plan your meals in advance - the freezer gives you and everyone in your household the freedom to enjoy sensory-fresh seafood whenever you want.
With safe defrosting methods, you can stay in control and prepare your seafood dishes with precision.
