Our frozen fish is better than fresh! It is flash frozen at a very low temperature (-40) as soon as it is brought in to the dock. This seals in all the nutrition and fresh flavor that you may miss from the fish that took two extra days to arrive on your plate fresh. Frozen is also easy to prepare as most seafood can even be cooked frozen! See our recipe page for details.

Freezing changes the texture of any meat to a greater or lesser extent, in part because of dehydration. And, when you buy a frozen turkey, you never really know how long it has been frozen. One thing is for sure: During defrosting, meat purges some of its inherent moisture, resulting in a less juicy result. In storage and during shipping your turkey’s temperature will register between 28ºF and 30ºF.

According to the International Food Information Council, the nutritional value of frozen vegetables is virtually identical to fresh produce. The Mount Sinai School of Medicine Complete Book of Nutrition concurs. The book reveals that fresh produce that sits unused in the refrigerator for too long will actually lose taste and nutrition. Since frozen vegetables provide the same health benefits as fresh, they offer a convenient and nutritious alternative.

All the entrees come fresh made to order! We suggest you freeze anything you're not going to eat within 4 days. The items we consider to be more freezable are marked on the label.

Our fish comes in everyday, except Sundays. Depending on the variety it is usually 2 to 4 days out of the water. Most of our fish is cut when you need it. Our lobsters and crabs are flown in directly and are live when you take them home. Our multiple varieties of clams, mussels, and oysters are live and ready to eat. You will get at least a 2 day shelf life out of all our fish. Eat it sooner the better!

It is always best to use Fresh whenever possible; using Frozen foods is the second best choice. Caveat: read the labels as many frozen vegetables contain added salt.

I don't agree that fresh is automatically better when it comes to spinach. If you need the crispness or look of raw leaf spinach, then clearly you need to use fresh, but if you are cooking the spinach for any length of time, it is a waste of both time and money to use fresh. The cost of frozen spinach is many, many times less than that of fresh and the difference in taste (trust me, I've done the blind taste tests) between the two after cooking is negligible.

Yes. All filleted fish and cuts of meat are vacuum packed and labeled with 'Use By' dates. The vacuum packed bags can be placed in the freezer.

There is no quality difference between a fresh or frozen chicken/turkey.

Again, the needs of our customers dictate the way we produce and ship our products. For those who prefer fresh products, we ship them refrigerated and mark the 'Use or freeze by" date.

Freshwater fish can be a useful source of the long chain omega-3 polyunsaturates, but the amount is very variable, depending on conditions. The amount depends on the type of plankton and microscopic plants found in the water in which the fish are reared. Tropical areas often have different organisms to those found in more temperate areas and, as a result, can have low omega-3 levels. If the fish are farmed, the type of food they are fed will have a big influence.

NO! Fish is not cheap because their isn't plenty of it in the overfished Mediterranean sea. Prices of eating fresh fish range from reasonable to expensive. Plenty of frozen fish from the Atlantic though. This reminds me of the fact that restaurants MUST display by law if any item in a dish is frozen, and if they don't and are caught they'll end up paying a BIG fine.

We use insulated polystyrene boxes filled with frozen gel packs. The fish is not therefore frozen but is maintained at a refrigerated temperature for at least 24 hours after leaving us.

A - We only sell fish which has been carefully 'Fresh Frozen' within a very short time after being caught. We believe fresh fish is not as fresh a 'Fresh Frozen', as it could have stayed on ice for up to a week before being landed. Is this fresh? Whereas our 'Fresh Frozen' fish is guaranteed to look and taste perfect upon defrosting.

Yes, with modern advances in the freezing process, frozen seafood can absolutely be better than never frozen seafood.

The choice is based on personal preference. With today's freezing methods, there is no significant difference in quality between a fresh turkey and a frozen one. The moisture loss is minimal. If you like to shop well in advance of cooking the meal, a frozen turkey is your best bet. Make sure the turkey is solidly frozen. By reading the label carefully, you can be sure of getting exactly what you want— stuffed, unstuffed, basted, unbasted, or smoked.

Quality dairy products, including colostrum, are never frozen because it changes the composition. This is noticeable with the look and taste of milk when you freeze and thaw it. Colostrum's effectiveness is greatly changed in this freezing/thawing process. Check to make sure your colostrum is fresh processed and never frozen. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This health product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

OPDC will ship fresh and unfrozen raw dairy products to anyone upon request. Remember that if the delivery is delayed and the product is left un-refrigerated, it will be protected for an extended period of perhaps an additional 24 hours if it is frozen.

Feel free to experiment but I can't predict how it will turn out. I do not make every possible variation of every recipe so I don't know how a lot of the possible substitutions would turn out. There are a lot of variables that go into changing a recipe. Are you subbing something sweet for something tart? You might want to cut down on the sugar. Is the dried fruit really dried out? You might need to add more liquid. You might not need to use as many dried berries as you would fresh.

The two tests used are the Prothrombin Time (PT) and the fibrinogen level. Those centers that use PT feel that the PT must be elevated more than 2 or 3 seconds above the control before FFP should be considered. Since fibrinogen is removed during TPE, other centers will follow fibrinogen levels. They feel that a fibrinogen level of less than 125 mg/dl is an indication for FFP replacement.
