Availability
Seafood you can actually order this week
As of August 2026, much of the Vital Choice catalog lists ship dates one to six months out, and their site notes that some items are temporarily unavailable.
At Sizzlefish, we pack every order at our own headquarters and ship it in a recyclable cooler with plenty of dry ice, with guaranteed frozen arrival. Once your order ships, it arrives in 1 to 3 days.
Customer Care
Talk to someone who knows the fish
Vital Choice's contact page now redirects to the 1-800-Flowers customer service center, which handles more than a dozen brands.
When you reach us at Sizzlefish, you're talking to our own in-house team, a few steps away from the people who pack your order. Call us Mon-Fri, 7-4 ET at (833) 603-0888 or email support@sizzlefish.com. We're here to make every order feel like it came from someone who cared, because it did.
Sourcing
30 years on the docks, now delivered to your door
Before Sizzlefish, our founder spent 30 years supplying premium and natural grocers across the country. Today we work directly with fishermen and sustainable fisheries to source restaurant-grade seafood, then portion it perfectly so it goes from freezer to table with ease.
