Question 4

What product ranges does San Antone offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer two primary ranges: Fresh Range — large plain single whiting fillets, wild-caught and never frozen, available in 500g trays and 300g trays (7.5kg cartons); and IQF Range (Individually Quick Frozen) — plain, crumbed, panko crumbed, and tempura whiting in various formats including 3kg and 5kg cartons, 300g trays, and 400g bags.

IQF stands for Individually Quick Frozen. Each fillet is frozen separately at extremely low temperatures, which preserves texture, flavour, and nutritional value while allowing you to defrost only the quantity you need. It's the gold standard for frozen seafood quality.
