Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What temperature should a seafood display case hold?

A seafood display case should hold a steady 32°F to 38°F (0°C to 3°C), colder than a standard deli case, since fresh fish and shellfish spoil faster than most other deli product. Many seafood cases also use a bed of ice under or around the product as extra backup cooling. Our seafood cases are built to hold this tighter range through a full day of service.

What's the difference between a seafood case and a standard deli case?

A seafood case is built to run colder than a standard deli case, and often includes a drain and ice-bed option to handle the extra moisture that comes with fresh fish and shellfish. A standard deli case is built for sliced meats and cheeses instead, which don't need the same ice or drainage setup. We can help match the case to what you're actually displaying.

Do seafood display cases need ice, or is refrigeration alone enough?

Refrigeration alone keeps seafood food-safe, but many shops still bed fresh fish and shellfish on ice for presentation and as a backup if the case loses power or airflow gets blocked. It's a merchandising choice as much as a food-safety one. Our seafood cases are built to run cold enough on their own, with or without an ice bed on top.
