What is Fish Fixe?
Fish Fixe aims to solve the problem of families not eating enough seafood by providing fish that has been cleaned, portioned and frozen at the height of its freshness. This process allows the product to stay fresh as possible until it is thawed and ready to eat. Each Fish Fixe package comes with thaw, prep and cooking instructions to ensure maximum meat quality.
Who are the founders?
Emily Castro and Melissa Harrington are the founders of Fish Fixe. The duo met in mid 200s, while playing soccer for Texas A&M. As per the website, the two of them had been trying to find a way to incorporate seafood more often in the family's diets.
Melissa added seafood to her meals after the birth of her second child, and to ensure its freshness; she had it vacuum seal and frozen. When she sent Emily "a cooler full of fresh fish- individually packaged and frozen at the peak of freshness", the two knew they had something special in hand.
