Love seafood but need help selecting what's right for you? FreshDirect is here to help with its Daily Seafood Rating System. Introduced this week, the Daily Seafood Rating System takes the guess work out of choosing high-quality seafood and eliminates the need to speak with a fishmonger to find out what's best that day.
Utilizing a star system similar to that used in its Daily Produce Rating System, FreshDirect's in-house experts inspect its seafood stock each morning to provide customers with recommendations that are accurate for deliveries on the day following the ranking. If soft shell crabs scored a 4-star rating on the Web site Tuesday, they are one of FreshDirect's top selections -- guaranteed to be great for next-day deliveries on Wednesday.
Judging by smell, look and feel, the way experts at the fish docks and neighborhood fish vendors do, FreshDirect can now advise customers on a broader range of seafood items that are the best choice for their dinner tables. This is particularly useful during the summer months when customers can take advantage of FreshDirect's local fish catch including wild black sea bass, wild swordfish and wild mahi mahi. The Daily Seafood Rating System also helps identify first-of-season catches on short seasonal fish like wild Alaskan salmon and shad.
The seafood will be rated with stars, based on the following chart:
Five Stars: Never Better - Simply outstanding; the best of its kind
Four Stars: Great - A don't-miss, peak-season product
Three Stars: Good - A dependable product, sure to please
"Knowing that not all seafood lovers are seafood experts, FreshDirect's Daily Seafood Rating System lets our customers know which items are the catch of the day and the best seasonal picks," said
