Australis
Aquaculture
A
fter successfully establishing fresh barramundi
as an international culinary trend, Australis has
added frozen barramundi, authentic basa and
swai fillets to its Better Fish® seafood line. Appealing
to consumer interest for convenient, healthy, safe
and sustainably raised fish, Australisʼ new line offers
retailers and foodservice clients unique new products to
attract customers and drive category growth.
All products are individually
vacuum packed, 100 percent
skinless and boneless, and
well trimmed for appearance. Full traceability and
rigorous testing assure purity
(no antibiotics, mercury or
other contaminants). Australis’ frozen line is available in
stand-up retail bags and bulk
packs. Retail bags have high6

end appeal with recipes and
descriptive copy that speaks
to consumers’ desire for delicious, healthy and sustainably
raised seafood.
Australis
barramundi’s
sweet, buttery flavor and
succulent texture has been a
consistent hit with chefs and
consumers since the introduction of its fresh line and is
performing equally well for its
new frozen product. According to Performance Plus (focus
group), “Response has been
overwhelming! Every respondent said they would definitely purchase in the future
and were excited at the prospect of Australis barramundi
being offered to them at a local
supermarket.”
Authentic basa and swai fillets are mild, white and flaky
and are considered sustainable replacements for cod,
pollock and sole. The basa
and swai are processed in the
world’s only UDSC-inspected
pangasius facility, and offers
DNA testing to guarantee
authenticity.
Australis is an award-winning
provider of healthy, sustainable
seafood marketed under the
banner “The Better Fish®, Better Tasting, Better For You, Better For Our Environment.”

Beaver Street Fisheries
F
or more than 50 years Beaver Street Fisheries has
worked to provide the highest quality and best value
in seafood offerings from around the world. The
companyʼs Sea Best label has become synonymous with
high quality and the best value. The company recently
announced two new offerings in its Sea Best retail line,
Coconut Shrimp and Salmon Wellington.
Coconut Shrimp has become
an appetizer staple on restaurant menus across the
country. Now consumers can
experience that same restaurant quality from their own
kitchen. Beaver Street’s Coconut Shrimp come from Aquaculture Certification Councilcertified plants for Best Aquaculture Practices.
“Because these are hand
breaded, you can see that
great care has been taken
in processing. Having visited the plants and working closely with them on
the R&D, we are confident
that the consistency in eating experience will be the
same, shrimp after shrimp,”
says Rick Armstrong, Beaver
Street’s director of retail sales
and purchasing.
To go with the shrimp appetizer, Beaver Street has also
introduced Sea Best 10-ounce
Salmon Wellington. This center-of-the-plate retail product
lets consumers enjoy a white
tablecloth, restaurant-quality
seafood experience.
“Each time we have sampled this item in the R&D
phase, the feedback has been
overwhelming. We believe
retail offerings of this quality are simply few and far
between,” says Beaver Street
VP Mark Frisch.
“I give both of these items
rave reviews! Rich in flavor,
excellent presentation, quick
and easy to prepare, both of
these products are winners,”
says Robert Tulko, corporate
chef for Winn Dixie Stores.

Contessa Premium Foods
COMPANY
L
eading the industry in quality-driven,
innovative seafood products, Contessaʼs
value-added shrimp line has the power to
drive seafood category growth.
“We are very excited about
the unique flavors we recently
added to our line, in addition
to a packaging facelift that
will further draw in new and
loyal users at the point-ofpurchase,” says Juliet A. Boghossian, Contessa’s marketing
manager. “The new items have
already been well received by
major retailers.”
The line now consists of
seven varieties, including
orange, coconut, Thai curry,
scampi, marsala and Whiskey Jack shrimp, and, back by
popular demand, Shrimp on
the Bar-B. The items come in
8
June 2008

fmi
flavors that are lightly battered
or lightly breaded, and with
perfectly paired sauces. The line
continues to offer consumers
healthy options that are quick
and easy to prepare without
sacrificing the quality expected
from Contessa.
“Any brand can tout its
strengths and products — but
at the end of the day it’s the
consumer’s vote or testimonial
that counts,” says Boghossian.
“It’s not what we say, it’s what
they say that counts.”
The following comments
about Contessa’s products were
unsolicited:
“Just wanted to tell you how
much the Thai Curry Shrimp
ROCKS! I am so glad to have
found your store locator, since
I’d been disappointed at several
stores when I found they didn’t
carry it. I also just discovered
the rewards program. Neat!
Thanks.” — L. Hummitsch,

not what I think I need, I

was at Vons last week. I will
also try the other types. Thank
you.” — C. Heiland, Tustin,

H
andy International, headquartered on
Marylandʼs Eastern Shore, continues to
innovate, yet remains committed to tradition
under the leadership of Terrence N. Conway,
company president.
Handy launched its newest
product, Seafood Puff Pastry
Appetizers, at the 2008 International Boston Seafood Show.
Designed with chefs, caterers and home entertaining in
mind, this line is a hit. And
what’s not to love — preparation time is under 20 minutes
from freezer to oven.
The first in this line to be
introduced are two shapes and
flavor profiles. The pinwheel
has fresh crabmeat, shrimp
and Monterey Jack cheese in
a cooked savory sauce. The
crown is rich with fresh crabmeat, artichokes and spinach
14
June 2008
14_21profiles_ld.indd 14
in a creamy béchamel sauce.
Originally introduced in foodservice packaging, Handy is
currently developing packaging
for the retail and club markets.
Conway is thrilled with the
appetizers’ popularity and
comments, “This success, however, doesn’t stop the creative
product development team;
they are motivated.” Under the
direction of Carol Haltaman,
senior VP, the product development team works continually to develop new products.
Last year value-added soft
crabs (panko breaded, oven
crunchy and tempura), crab
and shrimp cakes and pubstyle crab cakes were added to
the Handy line.
The appetizer, also new
in Europe, was selected as a
finalist in the Seafood Prix
d’Elite competition in Brussels.
According to Haltaman, this is
a huge honor for all of Handy.
“We rely heavily on the entire
staff’s input and revamp an
item again and again until it
reaches perfection.”
Jim Ruos, senior VP, sales
and marketing, the newest Handy colleague says,
“In my short tenure Handy
has launched a new product,
received official word from
Guinness for creating the
world’s largest crab cake and
initiated a crabmeat campaign
— asking ‘What’s In Your
Can?’ Now that’s innovation!”

Newport

N
ewport International, the home of Jackʼs Catch®
brand, has been a pioneer and leading importer
of crabmeat and various seafood products
since 1964. The company uses the best quality in its
mainstay products, including its signature pasteurized
and frozen crabmeat from Asia and Canada, raw peeled
and deveined shrimp from Asia and South America,
and frozen mahimahi, grouper and tilapia portions
and fillets, making Newport International a trusted and
respected supplier of quality seafood.
Newport is launching a more
diverse and extensive line of seafood products. The company’s
continued diversification will
help the numerous restaurant
chains, retailers, manufacturers
and distributors that Newport
serves to leverage their distribution exposure. The initial
addition will be American lobster (a.k.a. Maine lobster).
“Our lobster extension is
unique and complements
our crabmeat line perfectly,”
says Troy Turkin, Newport’s
executive VP of sales and
marketing. “It will be geared
for our retail customers.”

Newport’s foodservice customers will benefit from other
lobster items that will include
bulk packed tails and meat.
The company will maintain
the same commitment to full
net weights and the strict control of chemicals, as in all other
Jack’s Catch® products.
Newport’s price points will
vary based on target market
demographics and packaging
innovations. A retailer might
receive a 6-ounce package
that would have a suggested
retail price of $14.99, while
the wholesale price to foodservice channels for bulk packed
lobster, for example, could be
around $22 per pound.

Harvested only from areas
that have no coastal industries, with no runoff of toxins
or hazardous chemicals, these
clean waters have environmental advantages that produce a premium, all-natural,
100 percent blue crab.
“All blue crab is not alike,”
says Bob Stryker, president of Ocean Technology.
“The natural color and rich,
sweet flavor of our crab is
not altered with chemical
additives. If you think price
is all that matters, you are
not giving the consumer
enough credit. They do
know the difference!”
The company’s commitment to quality began almost
30 years ago when one of the
founders co-authored “Technical Operations Manual
for the Blue Crab Industry,”
which is still used by the
industry today.
Ocean Tech is one of the
largest seafood processors of
all-natural 100 percent real
blue crab in the world. It
was the first to operate crabprocessing facilities outside
U.S. borders that are inspected and approved by the U.S.
Department of Commerce.
Ocean Tech’s focus on
quality and extensive processing experience extend to
its frozen mahimahi. It uses
only dayboat-caught fish that
are quick frozen and properly
handled to ensure not only
visual appeal, but flavor.
For foodservice distributors,
retail and restaurant chains,
the blue crab is available in
8- and 16-ounce clear plastic
cups, and in 16-ounce metal
cans. Frozen dayboat mahimahi is available in all sizes.

S
hining Ocean was the first surimi seafood
manufacturer to fortify its products with
omega-3 oil, with the first item shipping five
years ago. Now omega-3 fortified surimi seafood
represents over half of all national branded sales.
Last year, the innovators from
Sumner, Wash., took healthy
surimi seafood to the next level
with Crab Smart Natural (available in flake, stick, chunk and
Lobster Smart Natural). These
products are free of phosphates,
sorbitol, artificial flavors and
artificial colors. The product
line gives seafood departments
an offering in the growing
natural and organic food segment. Each product is fortified with omega-3 oils, with
400 milligrams EPA and DHA
per 85-gram serving. The food
coloring is by natural tomato-
sourced lycopene. Each product has 35 percent of the daily
calcium requirement and is
seasoned with sea salt. They all
qualify as “heart healthy” and
are labeled as such. The packaging touts the convenience
of these ready-to-eat products
with a “5-minute meal prep”
logo that leads consumers
to the Kanimi Web site for a
number of five-minute meals.
The packaging also notes that
the primary ingredient is wild,
sustainable Alaska pollock.
The Natural line was
launched in 2007. By the
fourth quarter it comprised
5.3 percent of all branded
retail sales in the United States
(AC Nielsen 12 weeks ending 12/29/07). “The Natural
products offer a real choice to
consumers. They bring new
customers to the category. Seafood departments that want to
reach the healthy/natural shopper offer these products. We
have placed our Natural line in
over 3,000 supermarkets and
the response has been great
both from ‘natural’ and mainstream retailers,” says Shining
Ocean President Robert Bleu.
The Natural line is line priced
and has a suggested retail price
of $3.29 to $3.99 per unit.
They are all in 8-ounce packs
except Shrimp Smart Natural,
which is in a 7-ounce pack.
