Polar G-Series Fish Display Serve Over Counter Fridge 175Ltr

The Polar G-Series fish serve over counter is a refrigerated display unit designed specifically for the presentation and short-term holding of fresh fish and seafood. Unlike a standard serve over counter, this unit is built to accommodate a bed of ice directly on the display surface, allowing operators to present fish in the traditional wet-fish style while the refrigeration system maintains safe holding temperatures underneath. The curved glass front keeps product clearly visible to customers without requiring staff to lift lids or move items.

In a working fish counter environment, consistent temperature control is critical. The unit operates across a temperature range suited to fresh fish and seafood, and the refrigeration system is designed to cope with the additional load of ambient ice and the repeated opening that comes with a busy service period. The R600a refrigerant used in the G-Series range is a low global-warming-potential gas, which is increasingly relevant for operators mindful of environmental compliance.

From a practical standpoint, the design addresses several of the day-to-day realities of running a fish display:

• Ice can be laid directly in the display area to enhance product presentation and extend freshness
• Meltwater drains cleanly via the supplied drain hose, reducing the risk of pooling and keeping the area hygienic
• LED lighting illuminates the display without generating heat that could compromise holding temperatures
• The unit is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C, making it suitable for warmer retail and market environments

Installation requires a standard single-phase power supply and adequate floor space for the unit footprint plus clearance at the rear for ventilation. At 56.3kg, it is manageable to position but will need two people for safe handling. A trolley is available separately if mobility between positions is needed. The unit is not plumbed in — drainage is handled by the supplied hose, so access to a suitable drain or collection point nearby is worth planning for before installation.

This unit is well suited to fishmongers, wet fish counters in farm shops or delis, seafood sections in food halls, and similar retail or market environments where presentation is as important as holding performance. It is a mid-capacity option — operators running high-turnover fish counters or needing a longer display run may want to consider a larger or multi-unit configuration, while smaller counters with limited space may find the footprint easier to work with than a full-length display.
