Keeps: 6–12 months sealed and dry
Every fish is looked over by hand before it is packed. These are the four things we check, and they are the same four you should check when it reaches you.
Then it is packed. On ice, in a sealed EPS cooler that holds cold for up to 72 hours. Mombasa goes the same day by rider; everywhere else travels by express courier or bus.
Do these four checks yourself when it arrives. If any of them fails, send one photograph within 24 hours and we replace the item or refund it — we never ask you to send fish back. Read the guarantee.
The salt and sand have already been washed out and the moss sorted. Less work for you, and less waste.
Barely. Properly rinsed sea moss is close to flavourless — which is why it disappears into a smoothie.
