Harvesting and Processing
We invest heavily in quality assurance for our specialty seafood harvesting and processing facilities. We are committed to quality, compliance, traceability, fair labor practices, and environmental stewardship in all we do.
We have strict policies in place to ensure the purity of our seafood for today and for future generations. For example, our Wild Atlantic lobsters are carefully harvested for minimal environmental impact. Lobster fishermen use an ecologically sensitive approach of single traps, which are attached to lines and then hauled in one trap at a time. This is more labor intensive but maintains the integrity of the ocean floor with minimal disruption.
Taste Experience
To produce exceptional seafood, it all comes back to responsible harvesting and processing. Our responsibility practices deliver specialty seafood bursting with flavor and freshness. From lobster and calamari to mussels and scallops, Aqua Star delivers an exceptional variety of taste experiences.
