Because depending on where you are in the world, not everything that is on "display" as "fresh" is fresh.

 

As with farmed produce, flash frozen can often be more fresh than what you see in the produce section due to processing, transportation, storage, display time, handling, etc.

 

Flash frozen is standard and often required even for Japanese chefs to ensure freshness and safety unless of course you are at the Tsukiji Market in Japan.

The fresh food in that supermarket is very fresh.  You can see, smell and taste the difference. The Chinese shopper is fanatical about freshness. Fish and other seafood  is almost always bought live. That is one important reason why there is so little frozen food available. Are you suggesting flash frozen than live?

Japanese restaurants in many countries are legally required to freeze fish to be sold raw on sushi or as sashimi, not to preserve it but to kill parasites.
