Nutritional Profile

Freezing should happen as soon as possible after capture, thus preventing freshness from losing intensity and accelerating degradation, in order to maintain the nutritional properties of the fish.
Safety
One of the great advantages is the great safety in consuming frozen fish. Very high temperatures, as well as low ones, sterilize the food, and when the product is frozen, possible toxins are eliminated. Due to this factor, frozen products are more protected from contamination.
Sustainability
Less waste is also another advantage.

Another factor is, while fresh fish has to be transported by air to arrive in time to be consumed, frozen fish can be transported in freezer trucks, substantially less polluting.
