WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As consumers turn increasingly to home cooking, seafood is enjoying the spotlight on American tables. Amidst growing food safety concerns, frozen seafood is providing consumers with safe, convenient and nutritious protein. Results from a survey1 conducted by Blue Circle Foods to mark National Seafood Month in October find that, in addition to food safety, 81% of shoppers are buying seafood, a rich source of antioxidants and omega-3s, to 'stay healthy'.

Sales of frozen seafood have risen dramatically2 during the pandemic. 2020 Food and Health Survey3 from the International Food Information Council's (IFIC) revealed that the pandemic has caused 85% of Americans to make changes in their choice of food and preparation, with 60% cooking at home more.

Blue Circle Foods, a leading provider of sustainable seafood, polled 1000 shoppers in August 2020 to better understand growing demand:

  • 77% consider it important that fish is high in protein
  • 74% buy seafood for its omega-3s.
  • 71% of shoppers surveyed by Blue Circle Foods are worried about food safety
  • Mercury contamination concerns 79% of consumers
  • 75% indicated that pollution to the environment was a factor in their purchasing decision

Shoppers also value seafood that is 'free from bad' ingredients: 84% choose to eschew harmful chemicals, while fish raised without antibiotics is important to 77%.

Frozen fish helps connect consumers to the freshest, most sustainable source of protein, no matter the season. Flash freezing fish helps lock in peak freshness, preserving nutrients like omega-3s, while optimizing flavor and texture. Responsibly sourced frozen seafood is a convenient, nutritious protein that meets the Dietary Guidelines for Americans4. recommendation of eating 8oz seafood each week.

"With more Americans juggling multiple responsibilities at home, preparing meals has become a central focus - and also a daily challenge. Having access to the highest quality, frozen sustainable seafood ensures that there is always a convenient - and tasty - source of protein available," notes Nina Damato, product director at Blue Circle Foods. "Frozen fish and shrimp are versatile and surprisingly easy to prepare, making them an ideal protein to have on hand," she notes.

Dedicated to inspiring a new generation of fish lovers with nutritious, convenient, and sustainable seafood, Blue Circle Foods works with trusted family farms and fisheries to source its Atlantic Norwegian Salmon, Atlantic Wild Cod, Sockeye Salmon, Yellowfin Tuna and Ecuadorian Shrimp. Once caught, the harvest is flash frozen for optimal freshness, quality and convenience. Blue Circle Foods products never contain antibiotics, GMOs, added hormones, gluten, sugar, or synthetic colorants.
