With the launch of FreshAIG, we're excited to introduce you to a better way to find the freshest seafood available. Whether you're more traditional, adventuresome, or prefer sustainable options, [FreshAIG.com](https://www.freshaig.com/?ref=news.freshaig.com) is here for your seafood needs in the kitchen and for the ones you care about. ### Why Freshness Matters Many cooks are reluctant to prepare seafood. But it keeps them from eating it as often as they should. Some of the hesitation comes from a lack of comfort with seafood as an ingredient; the fear of overcooking, lingering smells, the cost, or shopping inconvenience. These concerns are real, but are overcome quite easily with a little know-how and practice with *fresh* seafood. *Really* fresh seafood is easier to prepare, has no fishy smell, and is a great value if you know how to find it. So when you're at the seafood counter, don't always fall back on what you're familiar with. It may be the least fresh item that day. Instead, [select seafood for its freshness](https://news.freshaig.com/how-to-select-fresh-seafood/). ![A variety of fresh seafood over ice](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ef/82/ef820f72-8b0c-4a65-b801-73426196d380/content/images/2025/09/photo-1615141982883-c7ad0e69fd62.jpeg) Select the freshest seafood for quality ### **Quality Depends on Freshness** Regardless of the price or whether it's wild or farmed, freshness determines seafood quality. The less handling involved, from harvest to your table, the more likely it is to be fresh. This is why domestic shellfish like [Blue Crabs](https://news.freshaig.com/tag/crab/), [Maine Lobster](https://news.freshaig.com/tag/lobster/), and [Eastern Oysters](https://news.freshaig.com/tag/oysters/) are typically transported and sold live to ensure the freshest flavor. So our message is simple: seafood that is harvested and handled closer to you will be fresher. ![live blue crabs in a wooden basket](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ef/82/ef820f72-8b0c-4a65-b801-73426196d380/content/images/2025/09/photo-1433442886734-6a5e10c43d8a.jpeg) Seafood harvested and sold near you is fresher and higher in quality ### **Explore Fresh Seafood** We invite you to try seafood as it is intended to be — Fresh As It Gets.
