This month, we are locking in pricing on a product that offers one of the best labor-to-margin ratios in the seafood category: Frozen Blowfish Tails.

This product is sourced from the cold waters of the Mid-Atlantic; these are the meaty sections of the Northern Puffer. Blowfish tails are prized by chefs for their distinctively firm, succulent texture and sweet, clean finish. These hold their integrity under high heat, making them an ideal candidate for high-volume service.

Why IVP Makes Sense Right Now

January is an opportunity to tighten up operations. Using an IVP frozen product allows you to maintain a lean, responsive kitchen:

• Precision Portioning: The 5lb IVP bags allow you to pull per-order or per-shift.
• Texture Retention: These are processed and frozen immediately at the source, ensuring the meat stays firm.
• Price Stability: With our January price freeze, your menu math stays protected from potential market volatility.

Make it a Super Bowl Specialty

With the Super Bowl approaching, Blowfish tail are a natural fit for:

• Crispy Apps: A simple cornstarch dredge and flash-fry results in a golden, crispy exterior with a juicy interior.
• Bold Pairings: The meat is robust enough to stand up to heavy sauces—think charred habanero honey, garlic-miso butter, or a classic Maryland-style dry rub.
• Small Plates: Serve them three to an order with a bright citrus slaw for a profitable, easy-to-execute appetizer.
