Seafood is a favorite in Miami, but proper handling is key to ensuring freshness and preventing illness. At Sooners Delivery, we offer fresh, high-quality seafood delivered right to your door. Here are some essential tips to safely handle seafood:

1. Purchase from Reliable Sources
The quality of seafood starts at the source. Sooners Delivery works with trusted suppliers to ensure freshness. When buying seafood, make sure it’s refrigerated or kept on ice to preserve its quality.

2. Proper Storage
Once you receive your seafood, refrigerate it immediately at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). Keep raw seafood separate from other foods to prevent cross-contamination.

3. Timely Consumption
It’s crucial to consume seafood as soon as possible, ideally within two days of purchase. If you can’t use it within that time, freeze it to extend its shelf life.

4. Safe Handling
Always wash your hands and sanitize surfaces before and after handling raw seafood. Use separate cutting boards for raw seafood and other ingredients.

5. Correct Cooking
Cook seafood to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) or until the flesh is opaque and firm. This ensures the elimination of harmful bacteria such as salmonella.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy fresh and delicious seafood without compromising your health. Sooners Delivery ensures freshness from the ocean to your table.
