With the
popularity of traditional British food currently very high, 3G Food
Service and Seafood Solutions, the specialist distributor of chilled
and frozen foods to the food service sector, is encouraging caterers
to rediscover some of the delicious fish and seafood available from
British shores. The 3G Seafood Solutions range features a wide range
of products that are sourced directly from UK ports, offering
caterers the freshest fish and seafood available with valuable,
sought after British provenance.
The 3G Seafood Solutions range
features over 40 different species sourced from 29 different ports
throughout the UK. These species include Lobster, Dover Sole,
Halibut, Turbot, Tuna, Squid, Mussels, Razor Clams, John Dory,
Mackerel, Coley, Gurnard and Salmon.
Phil Coyne, Business Development
Manager at 3G Seafood Solutions explains: "As an island, the
UK is blessed with a huge variety of popular, versatile fish and
seafood species that can be locally and sustainably caught.
Developments in aquaculture have also enabled more 'exotic' species
such as Red Mullet and Sea Bass to be sustainably farmed in the UK too."
Phil continues: "Whilst
there will always be a place on menus for fish sourced from tropical
climates, British provenance is becoming a strong requirement from
the consumer, with products such as our Cornish Sardines and Scottish
Salmon all increasing in popularity due to their traditional, British
origin. If a product is described as British at point of purchase, it
provides a reassuring statement of quality and can help to
communicate 'just caught' freshness, particularly when the regional
source name is included on the menu or specials board."
Phil concludes: "We are
keen to promote the best of British fish and seafood and the UK
fishing industry by sourcing produce from all over the UK. Our aim is
to source all of our wild-capture and farmed fish from sustainable
and responsibly managed sources, to give our caterers great produce
that meets their required price points on menus and specials boards.
Our comprehensive fresh and frozen range includes all of the UK's
favourite species and a choice of alternative species too."
