💡 SEAFOOD SHOPPING TIPS
Packing for travel: If you are flying, remind the shop to pack the seafood carefully in foam boxes and seal them tightly with tape to prevent water leakage and comply with aviation security regulations.
Best time to buy: Early morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) is when the freshest seafood arrives at the depots.
Check prices in advance: Even though the listed depots are reputable, it is always a smart habit to ask for the price and check the scales before purchasing.
