What a seafood market website needs to do
People search for fresh fish near them, for holiday seafood platters and for something to cook this week. A site with a today’s-catch page, a pre-order form and short cooking guidance gives shoppers the confidence to buy something they may not know how to prepare.
Availability changes daily, so use a simple today’s-catch page you refresh with small edits or a short note rather than a full inventory. Add a pre-order page for holidays and events, and a short guide on storage and handling. Avoid promising sustainability or sourcing claims you cannot document.
People searching for a seafood market usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
See today’s catch
What is fresh
Pre-order for a holiday
Platters and boils
Learn how to cook it
Short guides
Visit the market
Hours and parking
Timing matters. Holidays, Lent and summer boils are the busiest periods.
The pages a seafood market website needs
A seafood market site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with today’s catch — the daily page
- ✓Fish and shellfish
- ✓Pre-orders and platters — holiday and events
- ✓Cooking and storage tips
- ✓Visit — hours and map
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on seafood market websites
