3 • The average American ate 15.8 pounds of seafood in 2009, according to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. That’s not hard to believe, because fish and shellfish suit so many dining trends. Seafood items can be dipped in melted butter or creamy, indulgent tartar sauce, or grilled over fragrant wood to please those looking for a better-for-you choice. Popular entrées like classic fish and chips or Southern-style catfish satisfy cravings for comfort food as well as a value. The growing number of fish and shellfish items on appetizer menus speaks to seafood’s appeal as a platform for innovation, since appetizers tend to be the most experimental section of the menu. And forward-looking emerging concepts are finding ways to serve seafood quickly and conveniently out of limited kitchen footprints. • Market Intelligence Report: Seafood digs deep into Technomic’s exclusive consumer, menu and industry data to uncover insights and opportunities in the seafood market. • The report includes data from Technomic’s MenuMonitor online trend-tracking resource, which analyzes the menus of more than 1,200 top chains, emerging concepts and leading independent restaurants on a continuing basis. • Also included is consumer data culled from Technomic’s Consumer Trend Reports, allowing us to parse demographic differences among consumers who like seafood to varying degrees. • Rounding out the data are operator examples, including the new products and hot concepts driving innovation in seafood.
