Aqua Star Microsteam Seafood Meals boast chef-created recipes that can be prepared in the microwave from frozen in a matter of six minutes. Thanks to technology that locks in the steam, the product packaging helps to rapidly and evenly cook the meals. Each seafood product boasts less than 500 calories and forms a complete meal with not just seafood but also vegetables and more.
Some of the available varieties include the gluten-free BBQ Sriracha Wild Salmon with broccoli, brown rice and quinoa, bacon and a barbecue sauce that's sweet and spicy, and the Lemon Herb Wild Cod meal or the White Wine Shrimp dish. These meals are prepared with MSC-certified seafood and also include other options featuring other salmon flavors and tilapia.
