Fish Fridges
Fish fridges are specialist chilled storage or display units built to hold fresh fish and seafood closer to ice-pack conditions than general-purpose fridges, maximising shelf life and food safety. Fishmongers, gastropubs, hotels and restaurants with a strong seafood offering rely on them, and curved or flat glass display models are common where fish is merchandised directly to customers.
Key specifications
Holding temperature defines the category: -1 to +2°C, at the bottom of the fresh-food range. Stainless steel interiors and built-in drainage handle fish residue and melting ice, keeping cleaning quick between services.

Fish Fridges — FAQs
Why do fish fridges run colder than standard storage fridges?
Fresh fish deteriorates faster than most other proteins, so fish fridges are set nearer -1 to +2°C rather than the standard +1 to +4°C range, extending safe shelf life and slowing bacterial growth.
Do fish fridges need drainage built in?
Yes — most fish fridges include a drainage point or channel to deal with melting ice and fish liquid, making cleaning easier and helping maintain hygiene standards.
