Where it comes from

Restaurant distributors, not grocery supply chains

Over the years, founder Tony King built relationships with the same distributors that supply high-end restaurants and professional chefs. We buy from those same sources, then have the products packed in home-sized portions and deliver them straight to your home or office.

If you have eaten a great steak or a sashimi-grade tuna dish at one of Atlanta's top restaurants, there is a good chance it came through the same channels we use.

The process

Five checks between the source and your freezer

  1. SelectedAged beef, heritage pork, all-natural chicken and wild or frozen-at-sea seafood, chosen for marbling, texture and consistency.
  2. Hand trimmedSteaks and filets are trimmed by hand so you pay for meat, not excess fat or silver skin.
  3. PortionedCut to practical sizes, like 6 oz filets and 8 oz spinalis steaks, so you thaw only what you need.
  4. Vacuum sealedIndividually sealed to keep out air, which is what causes freezer burn and dulls flavor.
  5. Quick frozenFrozen fast at very low temperatures to lock in texture and freshness until you are ready to cook.

Why frozen is a feature

Frozen at its peak beats "fresh" that has traveled for days

Much of the "fresh" fish at a seafood counter was frozen at some point and then thawed for display. Our seafood is frozen at sea, often within hours of the catch, and stays frozen until you thaw it.

  • Vacuum sealing keeps out air and prevents freezer burn.
  • Food kept at 0°F stays safe indefinitely, according to the USDA. Our shelf-life dates are about peak quality.
  • You thaw exactly the portions you need, with no waste.
