Buying
seafood online is the best way for most people to get fresh products.
Those who live on or near the coast should have no problem finding fresh
seafood and would have to be really lazy to order tit online. Some landlocked
areas have decent seafood markets, but they are few and far between.
Fine seafood restaurants should do their best to provide quality fish
but obviously many of them do not.
Even if there is a market or classy restaurant around that does feature
fresh fish they are going to mark up the price to make a profit. Buying
seafood online allows consumers to cut out the middle man. In this case
the middle man will become the delivery driver. Even with shipping costs
included online stores can usually beat market prices.
The variety of seafood online is also much greater than any market
could manage. Freshness may be a concern, but the same is true when
you go out to eat or grocery shopping. Many Web sites offer overnight
shipping and claim to send fresh fish caught daily. There are even dozens
of sites that sell live lobsters, crabs and all sorts of mollusks.
