GUINNESS® Battered Seafood Leaves Scratch
Recipes in the Dust
PORTSMOUTH, NH, Dec. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - High Liner Foods, the
leading North American value-added frozen seafood company, has
introduced new items to its GUINNESS® Distinctive
Seafood line. Originally launched in 2014, this line is
produced with real GUINNESS® stout and includes beer-battered and
flame-seared products. The line is a collaboration between High
Liner Foods and Diageo, the producer of GUINNESS®, the #1 stout in
the world, and the world's largest producer of spirits.
With today's launch, High Liner Foods has added four
beer-battered products to its GUINNESS® Distinctive
Seafood line-up. These new products include: Stouties™
natural hand-cut mini battered cod portions, battered haddock
fillets and battered haddock tenders. The GUINNESS®
Distinctive Seafood beer-battered selections are made with
premium seafood and a light, authentic GUINNESS® batter. Rustic yet
upscale, these varieties fit perfectly on any dining operation's
menu, from bar and grill to white tablecloth.
With snacking and shareable options more popular than ever, the
addition of Stouties™, provides operators with menu versatility
that customers are sure to love. These natural hand-cut mini cod
portions are as great tasting as other battered items in the
GUINNESS® Distinctive Seafood line up, but have a
crispier texture and handheld shape that makes them ideal for
dipping.
The new battered haddock fillet items come in two sizes: an
approximately 4 oz. portion and an 8 oz. fillet, with the 8 oz.
fillet being High Liner Foods' largest fillet to date in the
GUINNESS® Distinctive Seafood line. In addition to
the fillet items, the battered haddock tender is available in 2 oz.
tenders, perfect for multiple menu segments.
"It's no surprise that with the bold taste of the world's #1
stout, GUINNESS® Distinctive Seafood has
been a success since we launched it last year," said
Carolyn Piscatelli Senior Brand Manager of Foodservice Marketing
for High Liner Foods. "We are excited to continue to offer
operators top-quality GUINNESS® brand items that
deliver a versatile and enticing option for every menu
application."
