Royal Culimer launches new seafood product designed to offer chefs a convenient crab solution
Seafood provider Culimer BV will this month launch its latest product line: easy-peel king crab.
King Crab 100% Merus Legs has been launched in response to growing demand for convenience products, according to the firm’s communication manager Maarten van Geest, who revealed the company had started working with chefs to test new products.
“Chefs know what the market is looking for. Their knowledge brings in that essential information for our company,” he explained.
“Making the product easy to peel allows end-users to enjoy the exotic feeling of peeling impressive king crab legs, while also making the meat more easily accessible,” Van Geest added.
Royal Culimer general manager Jeroen Tollenaar agreed that today’s chefs and consumers were both “looking for convenience”, asserting that today operations were “trying to economise on the labour front”.
“Buying a whole fish from the fish counter might sound nice and cheap, but if you do that, you will lose at least 40% during the cleaning — which is a waste of time and money,” he pointed out.
“Frozen seafood is simply a better option if you take HACCP into consideration,” Tollenaar pointed out.
The product will be officially launched during this month’s Seafood Processing Europe xhibition, running from April 27-29 in Brussels, Belgium.
