Brunswick, GA – FISH MARKET FRESH™, the new line of flavor-infused fish fillets from King & Prince Seafood, has earned an Excellence in Innovation Award from Prepared Foods magazine. The award, which honors creativity and “outstanding product development teams,” recognized King & Prince for its success in combining back-of-the-house convenience with a flavor-infusion process that ensures consistent flavor throughout the fillet.
The six-item line features two sustainable fish species, tilapia and steelhead trout, infused with five different flavors including Creamy Butter Herb, Fiery French Quarter, Korean Barbeque, Cracked Pepper & Lemon and Sweet Hawaiian Teriyaki. Developed with institutional customers in mind, the cooked fish retains its moisture in a chafing dish for as long as two hours.
“This award is very special to us,” said Volker Kuntzsch, President of King & Prince Seafood. “It shows that our culinary and R&D teams are well tuned in to the operational needs of our foodservice customers, and know how to find ways to help them create opportunities.”
In addition to the consistent flavor and exceptional moisture retention, FISH MARKET FRESH™ items can go directly from the freezer to the oven, broiler or microwave.
“Our goal was to offer our operator customers a consistently great-tasting product with very limited prep time that would help them eliminate waste, while adding some fun and variety to their menus,” explained Susan Gurkin, Director of Innovation at King & Prince Seafood.
