Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of seafood do you sell?
Martin's Seafoods has access to a diverse range of seafood, including specialty items. A selection of popular products for entertaining is listed in our Product Section. Please also feel free to contact us for recommendations or to discuss seasonal items.
Where does your fish come from?
Martin's Seafoods source seafood from all over Australia and New Zealand. Martin has spent many years seeking out the best fisherman, co-ops and aquaculture farmers to ensure that only the highest quality product is bought. Martin's Seafoods also imports some frozen products to satisfy consumers' current and emerging needs.
How fresh is your fish?
All fresh fish at Martin's Seafoods is of the highest quality. Products are air freighted whole, direct from farms, and stored with the up most care. At our warehouse, only the best processing and filleting methods are employed and any fish that does not meet our quality standards is sent back to the farmer. Fresh fish should have a firm, translucent flesh that is sticky to touch, due to the natural oils of the fish (ie. the fish should not feel watery). The colour should be vibrant and look shiny.
What is the Head Spiked Method and the Ice Slurried Method?
Head Spiked Method: Known as Iki Jime, this is a Japanese method that involves the insertion of a spike quickly and directly into the brain causing instant death. The advantage is that the fish suffers less stress and can be rapidly chilled to maintain optimal freshness.
Ice Slurried Method: The fish is laid into a tank of salt water and fine ice particles at a temperature -2°C. This prevents the fish suffering any freeze burns, prevents colour from fading and maintains the freshness of the flesh.
