Looking ahead, some trends benefiting retail trout consumption that have been accelerated by the pandemic will likely continue after things get back to normal.

Publix is now offering Atlantic Sapphire’s land-raised Bluehouse Salmon in all stores across its seven-state footprint.  

To date, the line offers a complete line of 17 SKUs between the MOWI Gourmet™, MOWI Essential™ and the MOWI® Smoked product range. 

To help buyers better communicate their needs to seafood suppliers, FMI’s Seafood Strategy Leadership Council has developed a fillable form retailers and wholesalers can use to send seafood product specifications to suppliers.

For many consumers pre-pandemic, fresh seafood was something you ordered when you went out to eat — not what you cooked at home. COVID changed that.
