DANVERS, Mass. (RestaurantNews.com) Fishery Products International, the leading US broad line foodservice seafood provider, today announced that it has expanded its ground-breaking FireRoasters™ line of flame-seared fillets to include two new Alaska Pollock versions featuring highly popular flavor profiles.
The new FireRoasters items are:
- Citrus Peppercorn Alaska Pollock Fillets: Made with fresh lemon, cracked peppercorn and roasted garlic for a contemporary twist on a mainstream flavor profile.
- Southwest Style Alaska Pollock Fillets: Featuring a blend of chili peppers, ginger, onion, garlic and chopped cilantro for an impactful Southwest-influenced taste.
These two new FireRoasters Alaska Pollock products are available in 4 oz servings to provide operators with more cost-effective portion control options in the line-up. They also have a number of important nutritional benefits: both items are lower in sodium than typical prepared seafood alternatives (410 milligrams for the Citrus Peppercorn fillets and 370 mg for the Southwest fillets) and both products also provide Omega-3 benefits.
“These two new FireRoasters items offer an unbeatable combination of unique flavor, nutritional benefits, and cost effectiveness, making them an excellent fit for all foodservice operations, especially health care facilities and the appropriated and non-appropriated segments of the US Military,” said Jim LaBelle, Vice President of Marketing for FPI. The Alaska Pollock used in these items is domestically sourced and processed which is a requirement for military troop feeding.
FireRoasters is a line of fully-prepared, thick-cut salmon, tilapia, pollock and cod fillets that have been flame-roasted and seasoned to perfection through FPI’s unique process. FireRoasters allows operators to serve profitable, on-trend flavor profiles that eliminate the high cost and complexity of preparing fire-roasted seafood from scratch. Launched in late 2010, the line includes the following flavors: Smoky Applewood Salmon, Asian Barbecue Salmon, Thai Basil Tilapia, Citrus Peppercorn Tilapia, Rustic Italian Cod, and Southwest Style Cod.
