When do you ship so that I can plan ahead?

Please see our shipping map for transit times and ordering deadlines. We ship Monday through Thursday only.

Orders placed by 4pm EST generally ship the same day.  After 4pm EST they ship the next day. We cannot ship over the weekend due to the perishable nature of our gourmet products and because UPS does not count the weekends as transit days.

What shipping address information is required?

If shipping to a residence, provide an aparment or unit number.

Product

What does USDA Prime mean?

Great question! USDA Prime beef represents the top 2% of all beef in the United States. These cuts are recognized notably for their superior marbling, flavoring, and tenderness and are cut with care by our expert butchers. 

Many competitors will try to fool you with tricky wording with words like "choice" and "angus" but if you're not seeing "USDA Prime," you're not getting the very best.

How should I that my order?

We recommend thawing your New York Steak & Seafood Co. products in the refrigerator for 24 hours prior to cooking for the best possible quality, taste and experience.

Why isn’t there any ice in my cooler?

Most deliveries will arrive with the dry ice fully evaporated but the food will still be frozen or very cold and be safely placed in your freezer for future use. Your order will stay frozen for up to 24 hours without dry ice. If there is any dry ice left, please dispose of it outdoors and away from children and pets.

What is the shelf life of fish once it is fully thawed?

Generally fish should be consumed within 2-3- days after being thawed, but we recommend eating fish within 2 days for the best quality, taste and experience.

What is the shelf life of meat once it is fully thawed?

Generally meat should be consumed within 3-4 days after being thawed, but we recommend eating meat within 3 days for the best quality, taste and experience.
