Smoked Salmon Candies

Acme Smoked Fish Corporation Created a Sweet & Savory Fish Candy

— July 12, 2019 — Lifestyle
Acme Smoked Fish Corporation shares a variety of specialty seafood products and at the Specialty Food Association’s Summer Fancy Food Show this year, it introduced an unexpected addition to its portfolio—fish candy. The all-new Smoked Atlantic Salmon Candy is set to be available in the refrigerated aisles of retail stores, offering a one-of-a-kind treat made with salmon that's been cured with brown sugar and double smoked for a sweet and savory flavor.

While people have been enjoying salmon "candy" for many years as part of traditions in the Pacific Northwest, this product makes the unconventional fish candy available to a wide range of consumers. When it comes to enjoying the fish candy, Acme recommends using it as a topping on salads or grain bowls.
Trend Themes
1. Sweet and Savory Flavors - A trend in combining contrasting flavors can be capitalized on by other food and snack manufacturers to create unique products.
2. Non-traditional Ingredients - Including unexpected ingredients like fish in sweet treats could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for candy or snack manufacturers.
3. Health Conscious Snacking - Using fish, a protein-rich and low-fat ingredient, in snack foods could appeal to consumers who are looking for healthier options.
Industry Implications
1. Snack Foods - Snack food producers can experiment with new flavor combinations and ingredients to create unique products that stand out on a crowded shelf.
2. Seafood - Seafood producers can consider alternative uses for their products, such as using smoked salmon in candies, to increase demand and explore new markets.
3. Organic and Natural Foods - Organic and natural food manufacturers can incorporate non-traditional ingredients like fish into their products to appeal to health-conscious consumers looking for alternatives to conventional snacks and candy.
