Beyond the Net: Keeping Seafood Ocean-Fresh
Every seafood lover knows the joy of biting into a piece of fish that tastes as if it was caught just hours ago. But behind that experience is a complex journey, one that begins the moment seafood is pulled from the sea and continues until it reaches your plate.
At IGLO, we ensure that this journey preserves every bit of flavour, texture, and nutrition, ensuring that seafood maintains its quality from the very first catch until the final delivery.
From Ocean to Market
Seafood is highly perishable, and its freshness starts fading within minutes if not handled properly. That’s why the cold chain begins right on the fishing boat, where fishermen use insulated containers with ice or chilled seawater to quickly bring the temperature close to 0°C.
This early cooling slows bacterial growth and preserves the flavour, colour, and firmness, turning the catch into seafood that tastes like the ocean, not lifeless on the plate.

Once the seafood arrives at our Port Klang facility, our priority is to keep it at the right temperature for its intended destination and purpose. We use different storage solutions for different needs:
- Chilled storage at 10°C to 0°C for fresh fish and shellfish meant for short-term distribution.
- Frozen storage at –18°C to –23°C for longer-term preservation without compromising texture.
Freezing is especially important for high-value seafood. By freezing it quickly, we stop natural degradation and preserve that just-caught taste even for international shipments.
For businesses involved in the storage and transportation of perishable foods, partnering with experienced cold chain logistics providers is essential. At IGLO, we are committed to delivering reliable and efficient cold chain solutions that uphold the highest standards of food safety and quality.

Even with perfect temperatures, time is still the enemy of freshness. From unloading at the port to our cold storage facility, we move quickly. Efficient handling minimizes exposure to fluctuating conditions, ensuring that seafood transitions seamlessly from catch to cold without unnecessary delays. From supermarkets to export docks, every trip is closely monitored to keep seafood at its best.
