Premium quality

To achieve premium quality seafood products, we are dedicated to production integrity on energy level, and committed to delivering the highest quality seafood “From the deep to your doors”.

  • Procuring - The freshness is ensured right from procurement as the fish are caught live and are immediately chilled with ice, preventing bacterial growth. Hence the most optimum quality is achieved from the moment the fish was caught. Our quality control starts at the ocean.

  • Food safety testing - We have a well equipped in-house laboratory, additionally we work with internationally accredited external laboratories for microbiological and chemical testing. This ensures that all are products are free from any added chemical or preservatives.

  • Processing - We boast a fully equipped processing factory where we do all our filleting and portion control work. Our expert staff hand cut the fish in temperature controlled conditions to retain the aroma, taste and texture of fish. The ice used in processing is produced only with UV and RO (Reverse Osmosis) treated water that aids in ensuring maximum hygiene and quality.

  • Hassle free - Ready-to-cook products that comes to you were perfectly portioned and cleaned with UV & RO treated water. This allows for hassle free cooking with zero wastage and no further cleaning. Hassle free cooking allows you to spend more time for your “life” and saves your money too.

  • Zero Wastage - In most cases you pay for the price of whole fish, and then get it cleaned and cut, where the finished product would weigh a lot less than the whole fish. After cutting the Whole fish, the Wastage could range from 25% for White Pomfret to 60%, in the case of a fish fillet. Here at Continental Fresh, you are paying only for the exact weight of the Fish you buy, and you can cook this Fish without any further wastage.

  • Hygienic Packaging - Our packaging is made out of biodegradable, non-toxic, and recyclable materials, while also maintaining the maximum freshness. We have a 2 step packaging process which includes vacuum packaging. Our Vacuum packing machines seals the inner packaging perfectly and prevents exposure of your fish to air. Vacuum packing techniques reduces the atmospheric oxygen in pouches, limiting the growth of bacteria and prevents the fish from dehydrating. This ensures the flavor of the fish is locked until it reaches you.

Certifications - Our processing facilities have been certified and accredited by international agencies like European Union (EU); United States Food & Drug Administration (USFDA); Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP a global management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product); Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and various Social Audits.
