EP700F Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster EcoPro G3 EP700F is an upright refrigeration cabinet built specifically for fish storage in commercial kitchen environments. Unlike a general-purpose fridge pressed into fish duty, this unit is designed from the outset to meet the particular demands of storing fish: isolating it from other refrigerated stock, preventing odour transfer, and maintaining the kind of consistent, disciplined temperatures that fish as a product category requires. It is a working tool for professional kitchens, not a compromise.
During busy service, the cabinet is engineered to hold stable temperatures through repeated door openings. Foster's Airlines ventilation system supports efficient compressor operation and contributes to reliable temperature recovery. The +stayclear condenser is designed to resist dust accumulation over time, which helps maintain thermal performance in the periods between planned maintenance — a realistic consideration in any commercial kitchen. The unit is also rated to operate in higher ambient temperatures, making it a practical choice for kitchens where background heat builds during service.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the G3 platform translates well into kitchen workflow:
- PureControl LED display gives clear, at-a-glance temperature monitoring during service
- High-grade stainless steel on doors and covers holds up to heavy daily use and cleaning regimes
- Cyclopentane foam insulation supports long-term thermal efficiency across the unit's working life
- Helicoil mains lead allows the cabinet to be repositioned for cleaning without stressing the connection
- Floating lock mechanism reduces the risk of damage during high-traffic service periods
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this size, but a few practical points are worth considering before committing. The EP700F requires a suitable single-phase mains supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser. Positioning should also allow rear access for servicing. In kitchens where fish volumes are relatively modest, a smaller dedicated cabinet may well be sufficient. Conversely, for high-throughput fish operations or sites handling multiple species at once, a larger-capacity unit may better suit the workflow.
This cabinet is well suited to fish-focused restaurants, seafood specialists, hotel kitchens, and any operation where fish is held in meaningful volume and isolation from other produce is a genuine priority. It is not designed as a general cold store and should not be used as one.
If you are weighing up whether a dedicated fish cabinet is the right approach for your operation, or want to talk through sizing and placement, our team is happy to help you work through the detail before you order.

EP700F Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- A general refrigerator can store fish in the short term, but dedicated fish cabinets exist for good operational reasons. Fish is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuation and will readily transfer odours to other produce stored nearby. A purpose-built unit like the EP700F allows operators to maintain tighter temperature discipline over fish specifically, and isolates it entirely from the rest of the cold store — which matters both for food safety and for the quality of other refrigerated stock.
- The cabinet runs on a single-phase mains supply, so no specialist electrical installation is typically required beyond a suitable outlet. You will need to allow adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — positioning it flush against a wall without clearance will affect thermal performance over time. It is also worth planning for rear access to allow for routine servicing without having to move the unit under pressure.
- The EP700F's 600-litre capacity suits most mid-to-high volume fish operations well, including busy restaurant kitchens and hotel operations with significant fish covers. If your fish volumes are modest — perhaps a handful of dishes on a smaller menu — a lower-capacity unit may be more appropriate and more economical to run. For very high-throughput sites handling multiple species simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger cabinet would better serve the workflow. Our team can help you assess this if you are unsure.
