OMG ... i can't believe you're really asking this question... well ... OFCOURSE everything is HALAL as HALAL can ever be and more, actually anything with a hint of alcohol such as mouth wash is not permitted in, anything that has the word pork or ham or bacon even in the serving suggestions will get totally marked out with marker pen ... and absolutely all chicken, and cattle are slaughtered as per Islamic Shariaa in the Slaughter houses and nowhere else ...

as for being fresh, yeah u could sure say so, however, in every large city there is a food market with vegetables, meat, poultry and fish which are generally very fresh, however, if in Riyadh which is further away from the sea the fish won't be as fresh as in Dammam or Jeddah ... u know

Your posting reminded me of a very famous old scam we got here in Saudi...
There was somebody importing frozen fish that was labeled "slaughtered according to Sharia' Law"... in other words "Halal".

I just want to remind you that there is nothing as such as a "Halal" sea food.
By default ALL sea food is halal.

First of all meat, chicken, sea food is Halal. You can find variety of sea food in Saudi Arabia. There are number of sea food markets in Jeddah on the beach area!
