Foodservice Operators Can Find Bold-Tasting Seafood Appetizers in the New "Wild Bites" Recipe Brochure Produced by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute

JUNEAU, AK (November 5, 2002) - In an effort to help foodservice operators capitalize on one of today's hottest categories, the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) produced an appetizer brochure full of delicious, wild Alaska seafood recipes.

The "Wild Bites" brochure features a mixture of 12 classic and bold recipes. The recipes are ideal for sharing, provide an ethnic twist to meet today's flavor trends, and many of the recipes offer a presentation that is certain to "wow" customers. The brochure includes recipes such as smoked Alaska halibut on savory French toast, wild Alaska king crab salpicon salad and taco sushi, to name just a few.

"Our goal was to reinforce that seafood is not only suited for main entrees, but is ideal as an appetizer too. Research shows that people are also more likely to experiment with new foods from the appetizer menu than from the main menu. Therefore, some of these recipes are very creative, but every bit as delicious," said Claudia Hogue, ASMI's Foodservice Marketing Director.

"Wild Bites" was developed by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) in an effort to help operators build upon their existing seafood menu while meeting today's appetizer trends. To request this free recipe brochure, or for more information, foodservice operators can contact ASMI at 800-806-2497.
