HONG KONG — Visitors to this year's Asian Seafood Exposition (http://www.asianseafoodexpo.com) will be able to enjoy access to a record number of new premium seafood lines when the show takes place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on September 3-5, 2013.
The exposition's New Product Showcase( http://www.asianseafoodexpo.com/en/attendee/new-product-showcase ) will feature a series of display cases providing attendees with a sneak preview of over 60 of the latest, most innovative premium seafood products that are being introduced to the market in Hong Kong and Asia.
"Many of the products featured this year reflect global trends such as increasing consumer demand, particularly within China, for more exotic and higher value seafood," expresses Mary Larkin, Vice President of Seafood Expositions for show producers Diversified Business Communications.
"With the growth of the middle class in China driving affluent consumers to add more prestigious products to their diets, the exhibition's New Product Showcase provides a great opportunity not only for exhibitors to debut new premium seafood lines, but also for buyers to see trends in the market and to source new seafood products they can add to their business," says Ms. Larkin.
As a result, this year's New Product Showcase presents several emerging companies and brands looking to enter or expand their reach in the lucrative Asian seafood market. For 2013, some of the seafood products, condiments and culinary dishes on display will include the following:
Glacier 51 Toothfish (Austral Fisheries)
Praised for its firm white flesh, even texture and subtle flavors, this premium, sustainable MSC certified Patagonian Toothfish comes packed in a pair from a single 10kg fish that once filleted is rapidly frozen and carefully vacuum sealed.
Salmon Fillet with Potato Crust (Delimar GmbH)
The perfect seafood ready meal, these frozen, oven-ready wild caught salmon fillets are served with a creamed mashed potato topping enriched with a hint of dill, chives and cheese.
