High Liner Foods' Sea Cuisine and Guinness have partnered to help bring the taste of the pub home in a frozen cuisine way that will maximize convenience without skimping on flavor or quality.
The product range includes the Sea Cuisine Guinness Battered Fish Strips and Shrimp products, which each have the distinct taste of Guinness stout beer in every bite. The products feature responsibly sourced wild-caught Alaskan Pollock and tail-off shrimp with a premium Guinness-infused batter that will bring the favor of pub grub to any kitchen for quick preparation in the oven or air fryer.
Chief Commercial Officer Anthony Rasetta spoke on the High Liner Foods' Sea Cuisine and Guinness partnership saying, "Fish and chips and battered shrimp are classic pub favorites and not easily replicated at home, until now. The collaboration between Sea Cuisine and Guinness combines the expertise of the No. 1 brand in frozen prepared seafood in the U.S. with the iconic Irish stout, and the result is the perfect restaurant quality meal, right in your own home. As consumers continue to seek value and convenience, our new Sea Cuisine products offer an elevated at-home dining experience, bringing premium quality meals to the table in a way that’s both accessible and affordable.”
