Frequently Asked Questions
Why is UPS Express shipping so expensive?
The reason shipping perishable goods is so expensive really comes down to two factors: the materials and the service. In order to safely ship your products, we require insulated boxes with koolit packs to keep the product from thawing. Secondly, after a lot of trial and error, we only trust UPS Express shipping at this time. It has shown to be the fastest and most reliable service in getting our customers their products on-time and in great condition.

Is the meat and seafood delivered fresh or frozen?
All products are shipped flash frozen and individually vacuum sealed to lock in the natural juices and flavour, unless noted fresh. They are then packed in gift box and nestled in a reusable polystyrene cooler with enough reusable ice packs to ensure frozen quality delivery. The container is placed in a heavy-duty corrugated box for an additional layer of protection. This is the best way to ensure that every product is delivered in wholesome condition.
Why frozen?
Frozen is the best way to ensure that the meat retains its flavour, texture and colour.
What countries do you ship to?
We only ship within Canada.
In what currency are the prices listed?
All prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
Whatās the best way to defrost the products?
The ideal thawing process is to put your meat or seafood into the refrigerator to defrost overnight. DO NOT THAW AT ROOM TEMPERATURE OR IN HOT WATER. The burgers must be cooked from frozen. Thawing in the fridge is ideal however, if you are in a rush, you can put the vacuum sealed packages into a sink with COLD water, however please be aware that small holes can occur in the vacuum-seal during freezing, shipping or handling which is why we recommend thawing on a dish in your fridge, if you have the time.
How long are steaks and seafood good in the freezer?
As long as they are kept at a steady freezing temperature, our meats can last from 12 ā 18 months in the freezer... seafood can last from 3 ā 6 months
