“Our chefs have traveled extensively to bring the best in seafood to Sea Cuisine products, so consumers can confidently prepare favorite dishes right in their kitchens, quickly and easily,” said Chris Trosin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, High Liner Foods (USA). “For many people observing Lent who may need a boost of inspiration, or for those who simply enjoy seafood year round, now is a great time to create new excitement with seafood at home courtesy of Sea Cuisine.”

To add variety to seafood meals during the second half of Lent, or bring some fresh seafood taste into the winter months, try some of the most popular products from Sea Cuisine, available for $6.99 at most retailers. Sea Cuisine product lines include:

• Gourmet Crusted®: Products feature a flavorful crust that stays crispy when baked. Try a popular flavor like the Tortilla Crusted Tilapia – flaky fillets with a tortilla, chipotle and lime crust. For extra flavor inspired by our Chef’s travels to Mexico, use Tortilla Crusted Tilapia to make Sopes – crispy tortillas topped with Tilapia, beans, poblano peppers, salsa and cheese.
• Fire Roasted™: Products are fully-prepared fillets that have been flame-roasted and seasoned through High Liner Foods’ proprietary flame-searing process that applies real flame to the fish. For a hearty meal, pair Applewood Smoked Salmon with warm potato-apple salad and ale dressing.
• Pub Classics: Battered favorites like shrimp and cod feature a beer batter made with an American microbrew beer or English Ale. Serve with fries and a pint of beer.
