At Channel Fish, we believe that the best traditions are the ones that never stop evolving. For eight decades, our family-owned business has been at the heart of the seafood industry, bringing the premium seafood selections to your tables. This year, as we celebrate our 80th Anniversary, we aren’t just looking back at where we’ve been; we’re looking forward to the next 80 years of culinary innovation.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of six brand-new, value-added products at North America’s largest seafood trade event: Seafood Expo North America in Boston (March 15–17, 2026).
From global street-food inspirations to “grown-up” versions of childhood classics, these new items are designed to make seafood the easiest (and most delicious) part of your day.
Global Flavors, Coastal Roots
Today’s foodies are looking for adventure on their plates. They want “swicy” (sweet and spicy) profiles and international textures that transport them across the globe without leaving the kitchen. Our latest lineup delivers exactly that.
Mini Salmon Arepas
Imagine succulent, omega-3-rich salmon wrapped in a savory, golden masa crust. These are designed as a wholesome building block for snacks or shared meals. They’re the perfect reason to gather friends and family around the table for something truly unique.
Mango Habanero Shrimp
Our new Mango Habanero Shrimp features plump shrimp in a crisp, golden coating with the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and a bold kick of heat. Whether you’re tossing them into a taco, serving them over rice, or dipping them in your favorite sauce, they turn a standard weeknight dinner into a fiery culinary adventure.
Comfort Food with a Coastal Twist
We know that sometimes, you just want a meal that feels like a hug. That’s why we’ve reimagined classic comfort foods using premium, sustainably sourced seafood.
Chicken Fried Wild Alaska Sole Tenders
We’ve taken tender, flaky Wild Alaska Sole and encrusted it in a golden, Southern-style “chicken-fried” breading. It’s a “North meets South” creation that makes trying seafood approachable and irresistible for everyone.
Super Fish Sticks
Who says fish sticks are just for kids? Our Super Fish Sticks are crafted for bigger appetites, featuring a sophisticated lemon parmesan crust. It’s the satisfying crunch you remember, elevated for a more indulgent, “grown-up” experience.
Panko Breaded Salmon Nuggets
Channel Fish Salmon Nuggets are wholesome, simple, and delicious. Made from premium salmon and coated with golden panko crumbs, these omega-3-packed nuggets are made without artificial flavors or colors.
Jalapeno Popper Shrimp
Snacking is redefining how we eat, and we think seafood should be the star of the show. Our new Jalapeno Popper Shrimp is the ultimate snacking sensation. This fun take on a pub classic features plump shrimp wrapped in a mildly spicy jalapeno coating, balancing heat with a cooling creaminess. It’s the bold bite you’ve been waiting for.
Looking Toward the Future
As our President, Tom Zaffiro, puts it: “To continue growing, it is critical to stay attuned to customer needs. With globally inspired flavors and innovative items like Jalapeno Popper Shrimp, Mini Salmon Arepas, and Mango Habanero Shrimp, we hope to invite new customers into the seafood category. Items like Chicken Fried Wild Alaska Sole, Super Fish Sticks and Panko Breaded Salmon Nuggets encourage customers to keep coming back to seafood as a delicious and easy meal solution.”
Whether you are a retail partner, a foodservice professional, or a seafood lover looking for your next favorite meal, we invite you to grow with us.
