Williams Zircon FZ18-SS 323 Ltr Slimline Upright Fish Refrigerator

The Williams Zircon FZ18-SS is a dedicated fish refrigerator designed specifically to store fresh fish safely and hygienically in a commercial kitchen environment. Unlike a standard upright chiller, it is built around the particular requirements of fish storage — maintaining the precise low temperatures fish demand while keeping the unit practical to clean and manage during a busy service.

In real kitchen use, fish storage is one of the more demanding refrigeration tasks. Temperature consistency is critical, and the FZ18-SS is built to maintain stable, accurate conditions even in warm kitchen environments, making it a reliable choice for kitchens that run hot during service. The bottom-mounted refrigeration system also makes it suitable for sites with lower ceiling heights, which is a common constraint in older kitchen premises.

The unit's practical design makes day-to-day operation straightforward:

• Seven polypropylene containers with removable slime trays simplify hygiene and end-of-service cleaning
• Self-closing door with a magnetic gasket helps maintain temperature consistency between staff access
• CoolSmart controller provides accurate temperature management and supports energy efficiency
• Removable racking gives flexibility for different container configurations
• 75mm polyurethane insulation supports strong thermal performance across service periods

As a slimline unit, it is well suited to kitchens where floor space is at a premium. The upright format keeps fish storage organised, accessible, and clearly separated from other refrigerated produce — which is important both for hygiene compliance and for kitchen workflow. It is worth confirming that your available floor footprint suits the slimline format before ordering.

This cabinet is best suited to fish-focused operations such as fishmongers, seafood restaurants, hotel kitchens with a strong fish menu, and similar environments where dedicated fish storage is a daily requirement. For higher-volume sites storing large quantities of whole fish or running continuous service, a larger-capacity dedicated unit may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this cabinet matches your storage volume, service pattern, or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
