A seafood storage and/or transportation container is provided. The seafood container comprises a container, the container having a bottom wall, two side walls and two end walls. The container also comprises at least one channel, the channel having an inlet at the lower portion of the interior of the container, a hollow body that extends upward, and an outlet that communicates with the exterior of the container. The at least one channel assists in removal of water from the lower portion of the container, which will be accompanied by some of the waste product from the stored seafood. When a water source is provided overhead, the container of the present invention allows the stored seafood product to be submerged in water, while also obtaining a substantially complete turnover of water within the container (including waste products). This facilitates the mixing of water in the container by drawing away the possibly contaminated water from near the bottom of the container and pulling down the cleaner, oxygen rich water from near the top of the container. Preferably, there is a lid hingedly attached to the top of the seafood container, having at least one trough that serves to trap water as it passes over the lid. The water is retained in the trough until it enters the inside of the container through a plurality of holes contained therein.
