Q
Can I microwave a product if there are no microwave instructions?

Some products are prepared and frozen in such a way that they may be unsuitable for microwaving. The cooking directions on the package will unlock the great taste of each SeaPak seafood product.
Q
What does the code on the package mean?
A
A similar production code is found on each SeaPak seafood product. This lets us track each package back to its production location.
Q
How long will my SeaPak product stay good?
A
Generally, our products will remain fresh and ready to prepare for 18 months from the date of production. However, since our products are frozen, they have to be kept frozen the entire journey from our home to yours.

Where do the shrimp come from?
A
Shrimp are caught or raised all over the world. SeaPak shrimp are no exception. Both wild and farm-raised shrimp are used in SeaPak shrimp products.
Q
What is SeaPak doing to support sustainability within the industry and ensure high quality products?

Andrea N says: I love SeaPak shrimp products. They make it possible to eat shrimp as an everyday entree, not something that is reserved only for special occassions.
