Buying live shellfish online gives home cooks access to species that may be difficult to find locally.

Availability changes, so always check the individual product page before ordering.

How Live Shellfish Shipping Differs

Live seafood requires different handling from frozen seafood. Packaging, transit requirements, delivery days and live-arrival terms can vary by species and destination. Review the specific product page and our shipping information before placing an order.

When Your Live Shellfish Arrives

Open the shipment promptly and follow the handling instructions provided for the species you ordered. Live shellfish should not be treated like ordinary frozen seafood. If you have questions about the condition of a shipment, contact Global Seafoods promptly according to the applicable delivery policy.

Choosing the Right Shellfish

Choose by the meal you are planning rather than by species alone. Oysters work well for raw-bar style service where appropriate; Manila clams and mussels are versatile for steaming and pasta; whole lobster and crab make centerpiece dishes; razor clams, geoduck, spot prawns and langoustines offer more specialized textures and preparations.
