16 April, 2012 - Sealord has teamed up with McCashin’s Brewery, the makers of Stoke Amber beer, to launch a line of beer battered hoki fillets.

The New Zealand company’s partnership has resulted in Sealord’s Simply Crafted Beer Battered Hoki Fillets.

According to Sealord, the line offers a great taste of Nelson, home of McCashin’s Brewery, while tapping into the growing trend of quality, local ingredients. The hoki is caught off the coast of New Zealand. It is hand cut into fillets and snap-frozen, and each fillet is coated in a batter made with premium Stoke Amber beer. Stoke Amber uses eight different malts balanced with organic hops grown in Nelson.

“Craft beer is evolving in the NZ market and is becoming a viable alternative to matching wine with food. This is a really great opportunity to partner with Sealord to create a delicious fusion of local product,” said Emma McCashin of McCashin’s Brewery.
