New product helps foodservice operators 'Stand
Out from the Herd'
PORTSMOUTH, NH, March 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - High Liner Foods,
the leading value-added seafood supplier in North America, today introduced Pulled BBQ
Salmon. With barbecue more popular than ever, Pulled BBQ Salmon
from High Liner Foods' FPI brand gives operators a
chance to move away from the sea of sameness and "Stand Out from
the Herd" of traditional pulled pork.
Made with premium Atlantic Salmon, new Pulled BBQ Salmon
leverages two of today's most popular trends in foodservice: the
use of savory barbecue sauces and compelling new salmon options.
Pulled BBQ Salmon contains no preservatives and is a source of
protein and Omega 3s. The product is also an exciting new twist on
a classic preparation that will generate menu excitement and
interest for foodservice operators.
As a fully cooked "heat and eat" item, Pulled BBQ Salmon is easy
to prepare and comes in pre-portioned 2.5 lb. vacuum packs.
Operators can boil or steam the product in the bag for
heat-and-serve simplicity. A Pulled BBQ Salmon sandwich is the
recommended menu application as an alternative to traditional pork,
but in addition to sandwiches, Pulled BBQ Salmon is also ideal for
burritos and tacos, wraps, as a salad topper and in creative
appetizers.
Pulled BBQ Salmon comes in two flavors:
- Traditional: A deliciously tangy, tomato-based barbecue sauce
with just the right amount of sweetness and natural
smokiness.
- Sriracha: A hot & sassy barbecue taste featuring the famous
sweet-heat taste of Sriracha sauce. High Liner Foods didn't tame
the heat in this one, so real Sriracha lovers won't be
disappointed.
"With consumers continuing to crave barbecue, Pulled BBQ Salmon
provides operators with the opportunity to serve quality, on-trend
seafood in a healthier and familiar barbeque dish for an innovative
addition to any operator's lineup," said Jim Papadakis, Brand Manager for High Liner
Foods.
The Pulled BBQ Salmon was recently named a finalist in the
Seafood Excellence Awards for Best New Foodservice Product of 2015.
The winner will be announced at the Seafood Expo North America in
Boston show on March 15.
