When you buy seafood everyone know that fresh is the best. But, you may think that when the grocery store sells you fresh shrimp that it is fresh. But, how long ago was it harvested? How soon was it frozen before sent to your local store? Was it only packed in dry ice and sent by truck? All of these things need to be taken into consideration when you are buying "fresh" seafood.

Flash frozen is when the seafood is frozen within just a few hours of harvesting to ensure the quality, flavor and freshness. If the seafood has been prepared in this fashion, then when it arrives to the store it will still have that fresh taste and aroma that your desire.
