In the US, frozen seafood supplier High Liner Foods has introduced Simply Sauce Seafood Bites, a new line of products designed to “make it easy for schools to offer students a variety of fun and delicious menu options that meet the USDA’s requirements for whole grains”.
The bite-sized portions of crunchy, breaded seafood are available in three different species: salmon, pollock and shrimp. Each case of Simply Sauce Seafood Bites comes with sweet Asian sauce – a combination of soy, chili pepper, garlic and spices that combines with the seafood bites to create a sweet-heat flavour – but the bites are also available without the sauce for greater flexibility.
“Even when served without a sauce, these crunchy seafood bites pack a flavourful punch all on their own, plus they are an ideal menu option for students on the go,” a spokesperson for High Liner Foods said in a statement.
Jim LaBelle, foodservice vice-president of marketing for High Liner Foods, added: “Simply Sauce Seafood Bites are positioned to satisfy school directors’ need to offer students healthy choices and students’ demand for great tasting and fun lunch options. Our bite-sized seafood options, served with or without sauces, are aligned with today’s trend towards more à la carte and grab ‘n’ go lunch alternatives.”
