Looking for seafood in Costa Rica? We carry a broad selection of fish and shellfish that you can order online with the rest of your groceries.
Our seafood selection includes salmon, smoked salmon, wild-caught tuna steaks, corvina fillets, tilapia, cod, mussels, large prawns, breaded fish fillets and fish sticks.
Some products are individually portioned for easy meal planning. Others come in larger family-size bags. We also carry ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat options when you want seafood without much preparation.
You can browse our complete fish and seafood selection or start with the products featured below.
Where To Buy Seafood In Costa Rica
We make it easier to order seafood without visiting several supermarkets looking for the fish or cut you want.
Our selection covers several of the same categories shoppers commonly encounter in Costa Rica, including filetes de pescado, camarones y mariscos, and frozen seafood.
Product selection can change, so check the individual products when you are ready to order.
Shop Costa Rica Seafood
Seafood Options We Carry
Seafood is a broad category, and the best product depends on what you are cooking.
If you want something simple for dinner, salmon portions, tuna steaks, corvina or tilapia give you plenty of flexibility.
For entertaining, mussels and large prawns work well.
Smoked salmon is useful for breakfasts, appetizers and sandwiches.
Breaded fish fillets, cod and fish sticks are convenient when you want something that can go straight from the freezer to the oven or air fryer.
Salmon In Costa Rica
Salmon is one of the most versatile fish we carry.
Our selection includes frozen portions for cooking, chilled salmon prepared with garlic, and two different smoked salmon options.
Member's Selection Frozen Salmon Portions 680g
Our 680g Member’s Selection Frozen Salmon Portions contain four individually vacuum-packed portions of farmed Atlantic salmon.
The portions are boneless with the skin left on and contain salmon, water and salt.
They are also BAP certified. The Best Aquaculture Practices program evaluates aquaculture operations across areas that include environmental responsibility, social accountability, food safety and animal health and welfare.
Individual vacuum-packed portions make it easy to take out only what you need instead of defrosting the full 680g package.
Cook them in a pan, oven or on the grill and serve with vegetables, potatoes, rice or salad.
Member's Selection Salmon With Garlic
Our Member’s Selection Salmon with Garlic comes in a piece of approximately 900g.
It is prepared with garlic cream and seasonings and is ready to bake.
This is a good option when you want a larger salmon dinner without having to season the fish yourself.
Pair it with roasted potatoes, vegetables, rice or a fresh salad.
Smoked Salmon In Costa Rica
Smoked salmon requires very little preparation and works for breakfast, appetizers, sandwiches and entertaining.
We carry two options.
MacKnight Smoked Salmon Slices 340g
Our 340g MacKnight Smoked Salmon Slices give you a larger package of sliced smoked salmon.
It is an imported product and works well with bagels, cream cheese, eggs, salads, sandwiches and appetizer boards.
Smoked salmon is also useful when you want seafood that does not require cooking.
Hickory House Smoked Salmon, 2 X 227g
Our Hickory House Smoked Salmon comes as two 227g packages.
It is skinless, boneless, pre-sliced, Kosher and ready to eat.
The two-package format can be useful if you want to open one portion while keeping the second package sealed.
Serve it with eggs, toast, cream cheese, capers, cucumber, salads or sandwiches.
Wild-Caught Tuna Steaks
Our 1kg Mar Profundo Frozen Tuna Steaks are wild caught and individually portioned.
Individual portions are especially useful with tuna because you can defrost only the number of steaks you plan to cook.
Tuna steaks are well suited to high-heat cooking.
They can be seared in a pan, grilled or cut into pieces for bowls and salads.
Because tuna has a much firmer texture than fish such as tilapia, it can handle cooking methods that would easily break apart a softer fillet.
Corvina In Costa Rica
Corvina is a familiar name for fish shoppers in Costa Rica.
Our 800g Mar Profundo Frozen Corvina Fillets are wild caught and individually portioned.
The individual portions make them practical for weeknight meals.
Corvina has a mild flavor and works with simple preparations.
Try it with garlic, lemon or lime, herbs and a little salt. You can pan-sear, bake or grill the fillets depending on the thickness.
Serve corvina with rice, vegetables, potatoes, salad or a Costa Rican-style meal with rice and beans.
Tilapia In Costa Rica
Tilapia is one of the easiest fish to cook because its mild flavor works with many seasonings.
Our 2kg St Peter Frozen Tilapia Fillets are a local Costa Rican product.
The fillets are boneless, skinless, individually packaged, gluten-free, hormone-free and antibiotic-free. They have a 10% glaze.
The large 2kg bag is suited to families or households that eat fish regularly.
Because each fillet is individually packaged, you do not need to thaw the entire bag at once.
Tilapia works well with garlic, paprika, herbs, lemon, lime, curry, Cajun seasoning or simple salt and pepper.
Cod In Costa Rica
If you want cod without breading and preparing it yourself, our 921g Gorton’s Pub Style Cod is a convenient frozen option.
The fillets use wild-caught cod coated in a batter made with beer. They can be cooked in a conventional oven or air fryer.
This is more of a prepared seafood product than a plain frozen fish fillet.
It works well for a quick fish-and-chips style meal with fries, potatoes, coleslaw or salad.
The product contains cod, wheat and milk, so check the ingredient information carefully if food allergens matter to you.
Breaded Fish Fillets
Our Gorton’s Breaded Fish Fillets come as 30 individual 55g fillets.
They are made from haddock with no fish fillers and cook in about 15 minutes in the oven.
This is the type of seafood product to keep in the freezer for nights when you do not want to clean, season and prepare raw fish.
Serve the fillets with potatoes, rice, vegetables, coleslaw or use them in fish sandwiches.
Fish Sticks
For an even simpler freezer option, we carry Gorton’s Breaded Fish Sticks.
The package contains 105 fish sticks made from wild-caught Alaska pollock and coated with panko-style breadcrumbs.
The large package can work well for families.
Fish sticks can be served as a meal, snack or appetizer and require very little preparation compared with cooking whole fillets.
Mussels In Costa Rica
Our 907g Sanford Half-Shell Mussels are New Zealand Greenshell mussels served on the half shell.
Half-shell mussels are useful when presentation matters because each mussel already has its own natural serving shell.
They work well baked, grilled, steamed or au gratin.
Try them with:
- Garlic butter
- White wine
- Lemon
- Cream sauce
- Herbs
- Pasta
- Rice
- Seafood stew
The half-shell format also makes them easy to serve as an appetizer when entertaining.
Large Prawns
Our 2kg Cabo Virgenes Frozen Gambon Prawns come from the cold waters of Argentine Patagonia.
They are large prawns with firm meat and a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
The 2kg size is one of the largest seafood packages featured on this page.
It can make sense for families, parties, grilling or recipes where prawns are the main ingredient.
Cook them with garlic and butter, grill them, add them to pasta or rice, or use them in a seafood platter.
Frozen Seafood In Costa Rica
Frozen seafood has several practical advantages.
You can keep it on hand and cook portions as needed.
Products such as our Mar Profundo tuna steaks and corvina fillets are individually portioned, while the Member’s Selection salmon portions are individually vacuum packed.
This makes meal planning easier.
Instead of buying a large piece of fish and needing to cook all of it quickly, you can remove the portions you need and leave the rest frozen.
Frozen seafood is especially useful if you live farther from Costa Rica’s larger supermarkets or fish markets and do not want to shop for seafood every few days.
Wild-Caught Vs Farmed Seafood
Our selection includes both wild-caught and farmed seafood.
Mar Profundo tuna steaks and corvina fillets are wild caught.
Gorton’s Pub Style Cod uses wild-caught cod, and its fish sticks use wild-caught Alaska pollock.
The Member’s Selection salmon portions are farmed Atlantic salmon and carry BAP certification.
Wild caught and farmed are different production methods. Neither term alone tells you everything about quality or sustainability.
If production method matters to you, check the specific seafood rather than assuming every fish in the same category comes from the same source.
What Does BAP Certified Salmon Mean?
Our Member’s Selection frozen salmon portions are BAP certified.
BAP stands for Best Aquaculture Practices.
The certification program evaluates aquaculture production across areas that include environmental responsibility, social responsibility, food safety, and animal health and welfare.
For customers buying farmed salmon, this provides more information about the production system than simply seeing the word “farmed” on a package.
Seafood For The Grill
Several products on this page work especially well on the grill.
Tuna steaks are firm enough to handle direct heat.
Salmon portions can be cooked skin-side down.
Corvina can also be grilled carefully.
Large Cabo Virgenes prawns are a natural choice for barbecue meals.
Half-shell mussels can be finished on the grill with garlic butter, herbs or another sauce.
Keep delicate fish from sticking by starting with a clean grill and handling the fillets carefully.
Seafood For Quick Weeknight Meals
Not every seafood dinner needs a long recipe.
For quick cooking, choose:
- Individually portioned tuna steaks
- Corvina fillets
- Salmon portions
- Tilapia fillets
- Salmon with garlic
- Breaded cod
- Breaded fish fillets
- Fish sticks
The prepared products require the least work.
Plain fillets give you more control over seasoning.
If you want dinner to taste different each time, keep plain fish in the freezer and change the seasoning, sauce and side dishes.
Seafood For Entertaining
For a dinner party or gathering, look at products that make a stronger presentation.
Smoked salmon works well on an appetizer board.
Half-shell mussels can be served individually.
Large prawns can be grilled or arranged on a seafood platter.
A whole prepared salmon piece can serve several people.
You can build the rest of the meal from the same grocery order with vegetables, potatoes, rice, bread, lemons, herbs, butter and sauces.
How To Cook Frozen Seafood
Check the cooking directions for the specific product first.
Some seafood can be cooked from frozen. Others give better results after controlled thawing.
For plain frozen fish, thawing in the refrigerator gives you more control than leaving seafood on the counter.
Pat fish dry before seasoning if you want better browning in a pan or on the grill.
Avoid repeatedly thawing and refreezing seafood.
Prepared products such as Gorton’s cod, breaded fillets and fish sticks have their own cooking directions and are designed for convenient freezer-to-oven or air-fryer preparation.
How To Store Seafood In Costa Rica
Seafood needs careful temperature control.
Keep frozen products frozen until you are ready to thaw them.
Keep chilled seafood refrigerated.
Costa Rica’s heat makes this especially important. Do not leave fish or shellfish sitting in a hot vehicle or outside while running other errands.
Thaw frozen seafood in the refrigerator when possible and follow the storage directions on the individual package.
If seafood develops an unusual odor, appearance or texture, do not rely on cooking to make spoiled seafood safe.
Fish Vs Shellfish
Seafood includes more than fish.
Our fish selection includes:
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Corvina
- Tilapia
- Cod
- Haddock
- Pollock
Our shellfish options include:
- Mussels
- Prawns
If someone in your household has a seafood allergy, remember that fish and shellfish allergies are different. A person can react to one category and not the other.
Check labels carefully and follow medical guidance if allergies are a concern.
What Is Seafood Called In Costa Rica?
In Spanish, you will commonly see:
- Pescado, fish
- Mariscos, shellfish or seafood
- Pescados y mariscos, fish and seafood
- Filetes de pescado, fish fillets
- Camarones, shrimp or prawns depending on the product
- Mejillones, mussels
- Atún, tuna
- Salmón, salmon
- Corvina, corvina
- Tilapia, tilapia
Costa Rican supermarkets commonly group the category under “Mariscos y Pescados,” with separate sections for fish fillets and shellfish.
If you are searching online in Costa Rica, try both English and Spanish terms.
Is Corvina Common In Costa Rica?
Yes. Corvina is a familiar fish name in Costa Rica and across Latin America.
It is often used for fillets and seafood dishes because of its mild flavor and versatile texture.
Our Mar Profundo option gives you wild-caught, individually portioned frozen corvina fillets in an 800g bag.
That makes it easy to keep corvina available at home without buying fresh fish every time you want to cook it.
Seafood For Ceviche
Ceviche is closely associated with seafood in Costa Rica, but food safety matters.
Do not assume that lime juice makes raw fish safe to eat.
If you plan to prepare ceviche, use seafood that is appropriate for raw or lightly cured preparation and follow proper food-safety guidance.
The seafood products featured on this page should be prepared according to their individual handling and cooking instructions unless specifically labeled for raw consumption.
For a traditional Costa Rican-style ceviche, corvina is a familiar choice, but suitability for raw preparation should be confirmed for the specific fish you purchase.
Seafood And Omega-3s
Fatty fish such as salmon provide omega-3 fatty acids.
Fish also provides protein and a range of vitamins and minerals.
The exact nutritional profile varies significantly between salmon, tuna, tilapia, cod and other species.
Preparation matters too.
A plain salmon fillet and a battered cod fillet are both seafood, but they have very different ingredient and nutrition profiles.
If calories, sodium, protein or other nutritional values are important to you, compare the nutrition label on the specific product rather than relying on a general claim about seafood.
