It’s 39 degrees out where I am but feels like 28°. In my head, however, I’m already on vacation — somewhere warm, beachy — where I can indulge in all the decadent seafood feasts that cover a table.
Avast ye! That puts me right at home with a spiced seafood spread sprawled out in front of me like treasure, as I satisfy my inner pirate. Eating with my hands? Yar!
Still, not all restaurants are equipped to spread out a heap of seafood delight — it’s critical to have durable, flexible bags: strong enough to hold bulky items without tearing or leaking. Not every bag can contain all that booty — some combination of shrimp, crab, clams or mussels, potatoes, corn, and onions — and live to tell the tale.
Trolling for Catch
With qualities both upscale and comforting, seafood demand continues to make waves, and one of the strongest growth areas is “one-bag” meals — a convenient, flavor-sealed format that appeals to both diners and revenue-seeking restaurants.
According to Technomic data shared by Restaurant Business Online this past summer, seafood bag meal concepts grew nearly 4% year-over-year.* This growth highlights a clear shift: Guests want seafood served in a way that’s bold, aromatic, and easy to enjoy.
Whether used in back-of-house seafood stations, food trucks, or catering operations, the right bag can help streamline workflow and support flavorful, shareable, coastal-style meals — anywhere in the country.
Hanging Tuff
Traditional mesh bags can both leak broth and lose flavor. But products like Tuffgards® Low Density Seafood Bags, made from FDA-compliant polyethylene, are designed to be taken directly from the kitchen to tableside and then unveiled right in front of guests, releasing irresistible seafood aromas with an air of showmanship.
At 12" x 21," they provide ample room for single or dual servings of Empire’s Treasure® Shrimp, Peak Fresh Produce® Potatoes and onions, or any other signature ingredients. The clear design of the bags supports easy inspection, making them ideal for advance portioning or assembling meal kits.
Tuffgards LD Seafood Bags can support you in:
- Reducing spills and cleanup
- Maintaining food safety by containing juices
- Delivering consistent serving sizes and flavorful results
