Seafood is a Healthy Idea at Giant

But that's just part of the story.

Fish lovers know this: The sooner it gets to you, the better it is. That's why we get such frequent deliveries of fresh fish. We also insist that the suppliers we work with meet Giant's strict specifications for fresh and frozen seafood. The best quality products, and the safest, are sourced from suppliers who share our commitment to freshness, quality, and food safety.

We're not happy unless it's environmentally friendly and healthy for the planet too.

Giant is committed to helping our customers make smart and sustainable seafood choices. For that reason, we support ocean conservation and choose to promote environmentally friendly farming and fishing methods. If we didn't, the seafood you love may disappear.

A Longstanding Partnership

In 2000, before most retailers even started thinking about fisheries conservation, we asked the New England Aquarium for scientific recommendations that would help us source seafood from better-managed fisheries and aquaculture operations. We choose to partner with the New England Aquarium because they are one of the most reputable marine research centers in the world.
