Holding live lobster gives fish merchants more flexibility

For a fish merchant, being able to keep live lobster healthy and in good condition can make a real difference to how the lobster side of the business operates. A reliable lobster holding system gives the business the flexibility to hold stock safely between buying and selling rather than having to move everything immediately.

The Fish Market by Robinson’s chose a Todd Fish Tech Lobster Pod

The Fish Market by Robinson’s in the Isle of Man invested in a Todd Fish Tech Lobster Pod for its live lobster holding. The individual trays allow lobsters to be held safely while the filtration system maintains the water conditions needed to keep them healthy.

For Seafood Manager Jay Gore, the decision proved to be an important one for the business.

What difference did the Lobster Pod make?

Jay told us that introducing the Lobster Pod helped improve survival rates and supported the development of their lobster business:

“The introduction of the Lobster Pod system to The Fish Market, has been one of our best decisions we have made. It has reduced mortality’s rates and helped us build and sustain a thriving lobster business.”

That’s exactly what we want a Lobster Pod to do. It isn’t simply somewhere to put lobsters. It gives a fish merchant a practical way to hold live stock and manage it as part of the wider business.

Support doesn’t stop when the Lobster Pod arrives

The system itself is only part of what we provide. We help customers understand their Lobster Pod, mature the biological filter and look after the system once it’s in use.

That support was something Jay highlighted too:

“Thank you Todd Tech for your expertise, support and guidance.”

We’ve been designing and manufacturing live shellfish holding systems in the UK since 1998 and we’re always at the end of the phone when our customers need some help.
