The Journey of Seafood: From Ocean to Plate

The Journey of Seafood: From Ocean to Plate

When you enjoy a delicious piece of fish or shellfish, have you ever wondered about the journey it took to reach your table? At Red Anchor Seafood, we believe that understanding this journey helps customers appreciate the care, expertise, and dedication that go into every bite.

1. Responsible Sourcing

It all begins at sea or on sustainable aquaculture farms. We work closely with trusted fishermen and suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices. Whether it’s wild-caught cod from the North Sea or farmed salmon from local waters, every product is sourced with respect for the environment and marine life.

2. Expert Handling and Processing

Once caught or harvested, seafood is handled with the utmost care. Our partners use state-of-the-art methods to ensure the catch is quickly chilled and processed, preserving its freshness and quality. Skilled workers clean, fillet, and package the seafood, adhering to strict hygiene and safety standards.

3. Quality Control and Inspection

Before any seafood leaves the dock, it undergoes rigorous quality checks. Our procurement team inspects every batch to ensure it meets our high standards for freshness, appearance, and taste. Only the best products make it to the next stage.

4. Temperature-Controlled Transport

Maintaining the cold chain is crucial. Our temperature-controlled vehicles are specially designed to keep seafood at optimal temperatures throughout the journey. This ensures that whether you’re receiving fresh or frozen products, they arrive in perfect condition—just as they left the source.

5. Arrival and Delivery

Upon arrival at our facility in Newcastle upon Tyne, seafood is stored in advanced refrigeration units until it’s ready for delivery. Orders are carefully packed and dispatched to restaurants, shops, and homes across the region and beyond, always with a focus on speed and safety.

6. From Our Hands to Your Plate

By the time our seafood reaches your kitchen, it has been expertly sourced, handled, and transported with care at every step. All you have to do is prepare and enjoy it—knowing you’re experiencing the very best the ocean has to offer.

At Red Anchor Seafood, we’re proud of the journey our products make and the people who make it possible. By prioritising quality and sustainability, we ensure that every meal is not just delicious, but responsibly sourced and expertly delivered. Bon appétit!
