Frozen fish and seafood refer to fish and other marine products that have been subjected to a freezing process to preserve their freshness and extend their shelf life. This process involves lowering the temperature of the fish or seafood to below freezing point, typically around -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) or lower. Freezing helps to slow down or halt the growth of bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms that can cause spoilage.
The freezing process can be done in various ways, such as blast freezing, plate freezing, or individually quick freezing (IQF). Blast freezing is a method where the product is exposed to very low temperatures with a strong airflow to freeze it quickly. Plate freezing involves placing the fish or seafood between two metal plates that are chilled to freezing temperatures. IQF is a method where each piece of the product is individually frozen, which helps maintain the individual pieces' quality and prevents them from sticking together.
Frozen fish and seafood can include a wide variety of products, such as fillets, whole fish, shrimp, squid, clams, mussels, and more. This form of preservation allows consumers to have access to a diverse range of seafood products year-round, regardless of the fishing season or geographic location. When properly handled and stored, frozen fish and seafood can offer convenience without compromising taste and nutritional value.
Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing market for frozen fish and seafood, driven by rising population, urbanization, and seafood consumption in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand. China is both the world’s largest producer and consumer of seafood, supported by strong aquaculture infrastructure. Japan and South Korea have mature domestic markets with high per capita seafood consumption, while Southeast Asian countries are expanding frozen seafood exports to Europe and North America.
Europe holds a significant share of the global market due to its well-developed cold chain infrastructure, strong seafood processing industry, and high consumer demand for ready-to-cook frozen fish. Countries such as Spain, Norway, the UK, and France are key markets. Norway, in particular, is a major exporter of frozen salmon and cod. The EU’s emphasis on traceability, sustainability, and eco-labeling has shaped consumer preferences toward certified frozen seafood products.
In North America, demand is driven by health-conscious consumers and a growing preference for convenient, long-shelf-life seafood products. The U.S. and Canada are the leading consumers, with Alaska and Eastern Canada also serving as major production and export hubs. There is increasing interest in value-added frozen seafood, such as breaded fillets and marinated products. Retail channels and foodservice industries remain the major sales outlets.
The core global frozen fish and seafood manufacturers include AquaChile, Clearwater, High Liner Foods, Nomad Foods Europe, Austevoll Seafood and Hansung Enterprise. The top three manufacturers account for approximately 9% of the global share.
