Sea Best announced the expansion of its value-added product line by introducing a new Lobster Au Gratin entrée. The company also launched Signature Singles, a single-serve meal that can be prepared in a microwave. Entrée choices include citrus scallops and linguini, stuffed clams, black bean and shrimp tacos, tilapia Florentine, and spinach and artichoke flounder.
The Lobster Au Gratin entrée will initially be available at Publix stores. Mark Frisch, executive VP of Beaver Street Fisheries, manufacturers of Sea Best products, said the new entrée option and the Signature Singles allows Sea Best to offer a better variety of quick seafood options.
“We look forward to showcasing these new gourmet on-the-go items at the 2015 Seafood Expo North America, as we simultaneously prepare for these products to roll out to retailers in spring 2015,” Frisch said.
The Signature Singles products were originally developed for store sales, allowing customers to have seafood options that are individually sized and can be quickly prepared in a heat-and-serve microwaveable tray. Consumer response to a recent pilot program in a select number of Southeastern c-stores was favorable, leading the company to expand its offering of the products to c-stores and grocery stores across the United States.
