About Marine Foods Express Ltd.
Marine Foods Express Ltd. (MFE) is a premier wholesale seafood importer and distributor located at 5757 South Loop East in Houston, Texas. Recognized as one of the Southwest’s leading purveyors of authentic Japanese and Asian specialty foods, the company specializes in sushi-grade fish, premium shellfishes, and specialized culinary ingredients for professional chefs.
The company’s state-of-the-art facility features ultra-low temperature super-freezers operating down to -60°C (-76°F), an essential technological capability that halts cell degradation and preserves the pristine texture, fat marbling, and color of high-grade Bluefin Tuna and Hamachi (Yellowtail).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all seafood items certified for raw sushi and sashimi consumption?
Yes. Our sushi-designated finfish lines comply with FDA food code guidelines for parasite destruction freezing and are handled within certified sanitary environments.
What makes your -60°C super-freezer storage unique?
Standard commercial freezers operate at -18°C, which allows microscopic ice crystals to expand and puncture cell walls over time. Our -60°C super-freezer technology locks in lipid structures, preserving sushi texture and deep red coloration.
Do you supply non-seafood ingredients for sushi restaurants?
Yes. We operate as a full-service distributor supplying sushi rice, dried nori seaweed sheets, pickled sushi ginger, real wasabi paste, soy sauces, tempura flours, and tableware.
What delivery areas do your refrigerated trucks cover?
Our fleet covers the Greater Houston area daily, alongside scheduled multi-day delivery routes across Austin, San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Southeast Texas.
Can chefs browse and order via your online portal?
Yes. Commercial foodservice customers can register on mfeshop.com to view live inventory levels, browse new arrivals, and place scheduled delivery requisitions.
