SALISBURY, Md., Aug. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Handy
Seafood, the oldest seafood processing company in the United States, is the first to reach 125
years of age. Handy is celebrating this milestone achievement by
highlighting products developed throughout the years. Handy's
August innovation focuses on the appetizers that have redefined
frozen foods.
Handy had their first start with frozen appetizers 15 years ago
when they developed the mini crab cake for a customer. The
innovative criteria used to produce the mini crab cake later became
the standard for all Handy appetizers to follow.
First and foremost, Handy starts with fresh local seafood as the
main protein. Their mini crab cakes contain only fresh steamed crab
meat, never pasteurized, for the ultimate flavor experience. Handy
doesn't stop here in their use of fresh ingredients. The breaded
oysters are made from East Coast Oysters right out the Chesapeake
Bay. Watermen bring fresh oysters right to the dock at their plant
in Crisfield, Maryland, then the
oysters are shucked and breaded at that same plant.
Aside from using fresh shrimp in the Crispy Shrimp Wraps, the
sauce inside that delicate pastry shell is even made from locally
sourced ingredients. "I love developing appetizers at Handy. We use
fresh ingredients every day, from fresh crabs and oysters in our
backyard to locally sourced vegetables, spices and herbs," stated
Barton Dewing CRC©, Director of Culinary Development at Handy
Seafood.
All Handy appetizers are free from added preservatives so you
will not need a chemistry degree to read Handy's ingredient list.
Handy had an exclusive mayonnaise made without preservatives for
their mini crab cakes.
The last step is that handmade appearance Handy is known for.
"Hand" is in their name. They start each recipe in small batches to
ensure consistent quality during production and then hand-scoop and
hand-form each mini crab cake for that authentic look.
Today, Handy provides over 20 appetizers for retailers and
operators around the world ranging from mini crab cakes, shrimp
wraps, salmon power bites and breaded oysters to name a few. Handy
set a new standard for ready-to-cook appetizers by combining the
freshest ingredients and trendy flavor profiles all with a handmade
appearance. Whether you are entertaining your family and friends or
offering your restaurant customers with a back of the house
appetizer, Handy appetizers are guaranteed to impress guests and
taste buds. To learn more, visit http://www.handyseafood.com
