Additional information
At New Sea, we are proud to offer two premium options for Tilapia to suit your needs: Frozen Alive Fish and Frozen from Ice-Chilled Fish.

Frozen Alive Fish
Our frozen alive Tilapia is harvested and transported directly from the farm to the factory in oxygenated tanks, ensuring the fish remains alive until processing. This method guarantees the freshest possible product, with excellent texture, flavor, and visual appeal.

Frozen from Ice-Chilled Fish
Our ice-chilled Tilapia is harvested and immediately placed in chilled ice water to preserve freshness and maintain optimal quality. This process minimizes stress on the fish while ensuring consistent texture and flavor. Sourced from premium-grade stocks, including those used for fillets in high-end markets like the USA, this method provides exceptional quality and reliability.

Why Choose New Sea?
No matter which option you choose, our rigorous quality control ensures that all fish meet the highest standards before shipping. Whether you require frozen alive or ice-chilled Tilapia, you can count on us to deliver products that are fresh, reliable, and tailored to your specifications.
