Frozen Food Supplier in Qatar

Sadia lines we distribute

Sadia is the label buyers ask for by name, and it is worth being specific about what that means here. Most frozen chicken suppliers in Qatar will say they carry Sadia. We are a Sadia chicken distributor in Qatar for nine lines, not for the whole range, so the honest answer to a Sadia request is which item rather than yes.

Stocked Sadia lines are whole chicken at 1000g ten to a case, chicken breast at 2.5kg four to a case, chicken shawarma at 2.5kg four to a case, tender breast at 1kg ten to a case, wings at 900g twelve to a case, and chicken frank at 340g twenty four to a case. Where a Sadia band is not stocked, Perdix and Hilal cover the same weight in the same case format, which is usually the practical substitution.

For kitchens that specify Sadia on a contract, tell us at quotation stage rather than at delivery. Substituting an origin without asking is the fastest way to lose a chef's confidence, so we would rather flag a gap than fill it quietly.

Frozen fish, shrimp and squid

The seafood side of this page is built around what commercial kitchens actually run rather than what looks good on a list. Frozen fish in Qatar means mackerel and sardines in 10kg cases for volume cooking, tilapia cleaned at 200 to 300 grams a piece in 1kg packs ten to a case, and fish fillet at 2.5kg four to a case for portioned service.

Shrimp is stocked by count, which is the only way a chef can cost a plate. We carry peeled and deveined at 16/20 for grill and main-plate service, 31/40 for curries and pasta, and 71/90 for rice dishes, biriyani and salads, all in 1kg packs ten to a case. Squid tube comes in 2kg packs five to a case.

Counts matter more than names on this part of the order, and they are worth confirming with frozen chicken suppliers in Qatar before the first delivery rather than after it. A kitchen that switches from 31/40 to 71/90 without recosting will find the plate looks different even though the kilo price improved.

Prepared items, vegetables and stock

A large part of a frozen order is not raw protein, which is the part buyers comparing frozen chicken suppliers in Qatar tend to leave off the comparison. Gourmet prepared lines cover chicken nuggets, strips, popcorn, tikka, kabab and burgers in 1kg packs, which is what a cafe, a food court unit or a staff canteen runs rather than butchering in house. Al Kabeer chicken popcorn is stocked at 750g eight to a case, and beef burger is carried under Ola and Gourmet.

Frozen vegetables run in 2.5kg packs four to a case across broccoli, cauliflower, cut beans, green peas and mixed vegetables, plus potato chips at 9mm. Mulokhia is stocked at 400g twenty to a case and frozen tapioca at 700g, both for kitchens cooking a South Indian or Levantine menu.

Stock cubes and powder sit here too, Maggi and Golden in both cube and 1kg jar formats, because they get ordered on the same line as the protein even though they live in the dry store.

Cold chain and delivery

Frozen is the one category where the delivery matters as much as the product, and it is the real difference between frozen chicken suppliers in Qatar. Our stock is held frozen at the Doha warehouse and moves in our own vehicles, so the chain is ours from receipt to your door rather than handed between operators.

Two practical points for anyone buying frozen chicken in Qatar for the first time. Order frozen with enough freezer space cleared to receive it, because a case that sits on a loading bay while somebody makes room is a case that has already started to soften. And check the weight band on arrival rather than at service, since a band substitution is easy to correct on the day and expensive to discover mid-shift.
