JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Sea Best, a Beaver Street Fisheries brand that provides frozen fish and seafood to grocery stores and restaurants coast to coast, has announced the expansion of its product line with the addition of several new items. All of the new products aim to help Sea Best customers in the effort to attract more shoppers with a wider variety of seafood choices in tune with current shopper trends.

- Thai Chili Salmon – the hearty texture of salmon pairs with the full-bodied flavor of sweet and hot peppers, garlic and citrus
- Tuscan Mahi – sweet slow roasted peppers and tangy tomatoes blend with sherry, garlic and shallots for a rich Italian flavor on a sweet, hearty fish
