Brunswick, GA – King & Prince Seafood, the leading seafood manufacturer, introduced several new products today that are in line with menuing trends, foodservice industry needs and consumer demands:
Mrs. Friday’s Crab Sensations with King Crab Meat – offers affordable luxury and healthier options to patrons and the ultimate in convenience to chefs. MenuTrends research notes crab is a growing trend in entrées and appetizers and a King Crab mention on the menu commands a higher average price which translates into higher gross profit opportunity. Mrs. Friday’s rich, delicious blend of crab meat and seafood provides realistic crab appearance and bite. The Mrs. Friday’s Sensations line, which also includes Lobster Sensations and Seafood Sensations, offers greater versatility, less waste and more cost savings.
Mrs. Friday’s Breaded Ring & Tentacle Calamari – delivers a from-scratch look and a taste operators will be proud to claim as their own. With calamari use increasing at a faster rate than other appetizers and on 1 in 3 casual dining menus (MenuTrends), it’s an important product to the industry. Mrs. Friday’s calamari is just like scratch-made—lightly hand-breaded in a crispy flour coating with a 70/30 ratio of tender Loligo calamari rings and tentacles. With a 6-oz. portion pack size, it provides the consistency operators appreciate and patrons want.
Mrs. Friday’s Junior Krabbycakes – a 1.5-oz. portion size of the original Krabbycakes. The new product offers the ultimate in versatility for on-trend applications and fulfills two growing menu trends: crab and sliders (Seafood Business; MenuTrends). Made with all the flavors and textures consumers love, Krabbycakes feature real snow crab meat, high-quality surimi, real butter and fresh cream, all coated in light, crispy Panko breadcrumbs. It’s also an opportunity to increase gross profits with premium crab flavor at an affordable price.
Mrs. Friday’s Seafood Inspirations – versatile, easy-to-use blends for creating just about anything on the menu – from appetizers to ingredients to toppings to spreads. Loaded with succulent chunks of high-quality seafood, the four savory blends include:
- Asiago Shrimp & Sundried Tomato
- Back Bay Crab
- Lobster & Artichoke
- Shrimp, Crab & Parmesan
With two-thirds of customers wanting to try new flavors (Technomic), the premium ingredients and rich tastes increase perceived value and check averages. Available in 6-oz. portion packs for added convenience.
