Innovative Trends Capturing Consumer Interest in the Seafood Market
Seafood companies are increasingly experimenting with innovative flavors and product formats to attract new customers and broaden their appeal. One fascinating example is the introduction of fish-flavored churros, a savory twist on the traditional sweet fried dough snack.

In April 2024, Profand, a fishing company based in Spain, unveiled its new product line called Snackish at the Seafood Expo Global 2024 held in Barcelona. These churros incorporate fish flour made from salmon and cod, enhanced with fish fumet, and are available in salmon and cod varieties. Each flavor is served with complementary sauces-for cod, sweet pepper or sweet red pepper sauces, and for salmon, tartar sauce. Stressing sustainability, Profand uses less commonly consumed fish species such as tarpon, permit, and bonefish to reduce food waste. The initial market response has been positive, with plans to expand consumer trials beyond Spain in the near future.
