It’s been over 3 years in the making and Good Catch’s chef-created frozen line can now be found in stores in the US (check the store finder here to find your nearest retailer), with more locations coming soon! “Launching on the east coast and in New England, our old stomping grounds where we grew up seemed like a perfect way to showcase this new line,” said Chad Sarno, Co-Founder & Chief Culinary Officer at Good Catch
3 new delicious seafood-free entrees and appetizers will be joining the already-popular tuna alternatives, crafted from Good Catch’s proprietary six-legume blend (peas, chickpeas, lentils, soy, fava beans, and navy beans), which also carries a similar nutritional profile as fish-based tuna. Expanding the options for ocean lovers and saving our precious sea life with every Good Catch product you choose instead of fish!
MEET THE NEW PRODUCTS:
New England Style Plant-Based Crab Cakes:
A savory treat flavored with sweet red and yellow bell peppers, green onions, a kick of spice, and parsley. These plant-based crab cakes are ideal for a quick bite. Pan-sear and top these with a plant-based spicy remoulade, and fresh-squeezed lemon, or pair them with red sauce and pasta for a heartier meal.
Thai Style Plant-Based Fish Cakes:
This tender whitefish-style cake is flavored with an exotic balance of aromatics and spice for a Thai-style zest that is perfect for Asian-inspired menus. These cakes taste delicious pan-seared and are great on their own with a sweet chili dipping sauce, or an ideal way to top off lettuce wraps, Asian-style fish tacos, or tiny appetizer sliders.
Classic Plant-Based Fish Burgers:
These hearty burgers have a light whitefish texture and flavor, and are simply seasoned with green onion, celery, sea salt and pepper. For a taste of seaside comfort any time of the year, pan-sear these burgers and top with pickles and horseradish tartar sauce.[
“Quality and innovation are essential to the Good Catch culinary journey,“ said Chad Sarno. “Recreating the taste and texture consumers expect from whitefish and crab cakes challenged our team to push our boundaries. We are really proud of the final outcome.“
It’s been a big year for Good Catch; with the news of a $36.8 million Series B Financing Round kicking off 2020, international expansion and distribution in Tesco UK, a joint distribution venture with Bumble Bee Foods (a leader in the traditional seafood space), the opening of our new production facility, celebrity backing from public figures, such as Paris Hilton and Woody Harrelson and now branching out into the freezer aisle!
THE MOTIVATION?
“According to the United Nations, nearly 90% of the world’s marine fish stocks are now fully exploited, overexploited or depleted, with fisheries subsidies playing an integral part. Keeping startling statistics such as this in mind, Good Catch believes that the only truly sustainable seafood is one that allows fish to remain in the ocean, undisturbed”
Look for these new products in the frozen seafood isle at a store near you! Availability should be on the west coast by the end of summer and nationally by the end of 2020.
