As late summer menus take center stage, bringing top-tier flavor to your center-of-plate features is more important than ever. This August, we’re highlighting four outstanding seafood staples built to perform seamlessly across both restaurant kitchens and retail seafood cases.
Item Code: RLP400 | Pasteurized, 1 lb cup | August Special Pricing: $26.95/lb
Harvested from rich Gulf waters, our pasteurized Lump Blue Crabmeat combines sweet, delicate flavor with incredible operational convenience. Pasteurized to ensure an extended shelf life without sacrificing that fresh-caught taste or firm texture, this pre-picked lump meat saves hours of labor in the kitchen. It’s an ideal time to take advantage of special feature pricing—whether you’re crafting high-margin signature crab cakes, elevating summer pasta dishes, or building out a premium, ready-to-sell retail display.
Item Code: OYF200 | Frozen, 96ct | Rappahannock River, Virginia
Bring effortless decadence to your appetizer program with Rappahannock Oysters Rockefeller. Cultivated in the sweet, brackish waters of Virginia’s Rappahannock River, these oysters are pre-topped with a rich, classic Rockefeller mix and frozen at peak quality. Designed to go straight from the freezer to the oven or salamander in minutes, they completely eliminate the labor of shucking while maintaining strict portion control and speed of service for busy lines or quick-prep home cooks.
Item Code: LOB635 | 6/2 lb. Pouches, Frozen | Canada
Wild-caught in the cold waters of Atlantic Canada, this premium Claw, Knuckle & Leg (CK&L) lobster blend delivers brilliant red color and incredible natural sweetness. Packed in manageable 2lb pouches, it offers 100% usable yield with zero shell waste—allowing chefs and seafood managers to thaw exactly what they need for service. It serves as the ultimate high-margin foundation for classic lobster rolls, decadent bisques, or luxury grab-and-go deli salads.
Item Code: NSAL60 | C-Trim, Scaled | Norway
Raised in the pristine fjords of Norway, this Atlantic salmon sets the standard for quality, rich fat content, and vibrant presentation. Each fillet arrives scaled and expertly C-trimmed, giving your team a clean, uniform product that cuts down on prep time and maximizes plate yield. Whether seared for an upscale dinner entrée or featured as a headliner in the fresh retail case, its smooth, buttery flavor makes it an enduring customer favorite year-round.
