When it comes to selling fish, freshness is paramount. Proper storage ensures that your fish stays fresh, maintaining its quality and maximizing your profit. There are 5 ways to store your fish properly to keep it fresh, such as: 1. Temperature Control: Keep your fish cold. The ideal temperature for storing most seafood is between 32°F to 38°F (0°C to 3°C). This slows down bacterial growth and preserves freshness. 2. Hygiene: Maintain cleanliness. Ensure that the storage area is clean and free from contaminants to prevent spoilage. 3. Proper Packaging: Use airtight packaging to prevent exposure to air, which can cause fish to spoil faster. 4. Storage Duration: Store fish for the shortest time possible. Fresh fish should ideally be sold within a few days of being caught to ensure optimal freshness. 5. Separation: Store different types of fish separately to prevent cross-contamination and maintain the quality of each variety. In the competitive seafood market, delivering fresh, high-quality fish is crucial for success and maximizing profits.

A series of lawsuits related to seafood sustainability claims and eco-labels have scared the seafood industry to be more careful about the language they use to describe their products. One of the first suits was filed by catering firm Neversink General Store in November 2020, alleging Mowi's messages using the terms “sustainable” and “eco-sustainable” in marketing its Ducktrap smoked salmon brand were false. Mowi agreed to settle the case for USD 1.3 million (EUR 1.1 million) in March 2021. Richman Law rep: Seafood industry must back up sustainability claims or face lawsuits Most recently, two lawsuits against ALDI were dismissed after the retailer agreed to change its marketing tactics for its farmed salmon products. Additionally, in September 2022, Gloucester, Massachusetts, U.S.A.-based Gorton’s Seafood settled a lawsuit out of court that alleged its tilapia products were falsely advertised as being sustainably sourced. A federal judge also recently denied Red Lobster’s motion to dismiss a class-action fraud lawsuit alleging it sold Maine lobster and farmed shrimp that is not as sustainable as the company claimed. Irvington, New York, U.S.A.-based law firm Richman Law and Policy has represented the plaintiffs in several of these cases. SeafoodSource recently talked with Richman Law Animal Welfare Legal Fellow Brooke Dekolf to determine whether seafood suppliers are changing their practices and marketing claims as a result of these lawsuits. Despite the bevy of lawsuits, many seafood companies remain unable to legitimately substantiate their sustainability claims, according to Dekolf.
