LUNENBURG, NS, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High Liner Foods Incorporated today announced that its Sea Cuisine® Skillet Meals are now available at select grocery stores across the United States, bringing globally inspired, one-pan seafood meals to the frozen aisle. Ready in just 15 minutes, the new line expands the category with chef-inspired, complete meal options.
"Seafood has long been underrepresented in the frozen meals aisle," said Anthony Rasetta, Chief Commercial Officer, High Liner Foods. "Sea Cuisine Skillet Meals broaden those options and make it easier than ever to enjoy restaurant-quality seafood meals at home. With today's consumers looking for options that taste great, come together quickly, and are high in protein, this innovative lineup offers all the quality and convenience they want with none of the wait."
Designed to deliver a convenient, one-pan cooking experience, this latest offering from High Liner Food's Sea Cuisine brand helps to simplify seafood preparation. The line features three globally inspired recipes crafted with responsibly sourced seafood and high-quality ingredients, each an excellent source of protein.
First introduced at this year's Seafood Expo North America, Sea Cuisine Skillet Meals currently include three complete meal solutions:
- Mediterranean-Style Sole Pasta (22g of protein per serving)
Sea Cuisine's wild-caught sole paired with penne pasta, roasted yellow and red peppers, and diced tomatoes in a Mediterranean-inspired lemon caper sauce. - Thai Red Curry Salmon (19g of protein per serving)
Wild-caught salmon with snap peas, red bell peppers, carrots, and brown rice in a chef-crafted Thai red curry sauce. - Chili Garlic Shrimp (15g of protein per serving)
Sea Cuisine's premium shrimp with chow mein noodles, broccoli, red peppers, and carrots in a chili garlic sauce.
Closing Satisfaction Gaps in the Frozen Meals Category
While consumers are looking for meals that deliver on taste, convenience, and quality, many offerings still fall short. In fact, 64% of frozen meal consumers report being only somewhat satisfied with what's available today.* At the same time, the frozen multi-serve category lacks variety in protein choices with chicken and beef accounting for nearly 70% of the top 300 frozen multi-serve SKUs**.
Sea Cuisine Skillet Meals help address this gap by expanding seafood options within the category while aligning with key consumer preferences. Recent National Eating Trends results show that:
- 45% of consumers want meals with no prep that can be made in one dish
- 75% want options ready in 15 minutes or less
- 41% are looking to consume more protein.***
Product testing results further support this demand, with more than 87% of participants indicating that the Skillet Meals exceeded their expectations and 91% noting they were easy to prepare.****
