How SeaBid Works

From North Atlantic waters to your door — a transparent, traceable journey powered by real-time auctions.

Step 01 — Iceland & Faroe Islands

Farm & Pack

Premium seafood is harvested and carefully packed into temperature-controlled iTUB containers at origin, ensuring peak freshness from the moment it leaves the water.

Step 02 — 7-Day Voyage

Ocean Transit

Shipments travel via Eimskip vessels at a constant -1°C with GPS tracking and real-time temperature monitoring. 94% lower CO₂ emissions compared to air freight.

Step 03 — While At Sea

Live Auction

Buyers bid on pallets while the shipment is still in transit. Each container holds 20 pallets (1,000 lbs each). Select your quantity, set your $/lb price, and our Basta-powered auction engine handles the rest in real time.

Step 04 — Portland, Maine

PFEX Transload

Upon arrival at the Portland Fish Exchange, each lot is inspected, verified against auction specifications, and staged for final delivery.

Step 05 — Across the US

Delivery

Temperature-monitored distribution ensures your seafood arrives in perfect condition with full chain-of-custody documentation.
