Pacific Seafood Addresses Protein Needs During and Post-COVID19 Era
March 25, 2020—Portland, Oregon— As a result of the pandemic, many states are witnessing empty supermarket shelves, restaurant shutdowns, and stay-at-home orders, leading to a surge in demand for frozen proteins. Many consumers are finding it difficult to access this essential food source. To cater to this increased demand, Pacific Seafood is introducing its online platform, Pacific Seafood Marketplace, which will deliver high-quality sustainable seafood. We have handpicked a superior range of seafood and divided it into four distinct options for you to select from, allowing you to enjoy the healthiest protein on earth with your loved ones. Our distinctive supply chain enables us to source our proteins directly from their origin, be it the pristine blue waters of the Pacific or the icy rivers of the Northwest. Our skilled teams are actively involved in harvesting, processing, and packaging our products daily for direct delivery to your doorstep. Our versatile and easy-to-prepare meal solution is perfect for the freezer, as well as various food service applications. Our shrimp are dry rubbed with an ideal blend of herbs and spices instead of being marinated, ensuring the shrimp's quality and texture are preserved. The shrimp, a 31-40 count, is sustainably harvested and processed in a 2 Star BAP certified facility. "Customers are keen to include more seafood in their diet, and at Pacific Seafood, we create products that eliminate obstacles to increase consumption," stated Lorin Gelfand, Pacific Seafood's head of innovation. "Many consumers avoid buying more seafood due to their lack of confidence in preparing it. Products like our new seasoned shrimp help boost that confidence." To cook the seasoned shrimp, simply defrost and cook until it turns opaque, which takes about 2-3 minutes. The product is suitable for sautéing, broiling, or grilling and makes a great addition to rice, pasta, stir-fries, and salads. It can also be served as an appetizer with a dipping sauce, making it an excellent choice for bistro snack menus. The product is currently available in 20/16 oz. retail bags and for foodservice upon request. Learn more at PacificSeafood.com/seasonedshrimp.
