We are excited to share the addition of our best-in-class Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) and processing capabilities! We have done a lot to modernize our operations the last few years, and this new freezer tunnel is just another example of our commitment to producing quality products and providing the best possible service.

"We opted for a nitrogen-based IQF system, as it preserves product texture, taste, and overall freshness better than traditional ammonia- or freon-based systems. With this system, we now have the fastest freezing capabilities in the industry,” said Joe Cappuccio, Chief Executive Officer of Del Mar Seafoods.
