Best Seafood Values for May
Customers Seek Value
It’s not uncommon for customers to seek more value for their dollar during economic downturns. Restaurant operators can help themselves through this economic situation by having a strong value proposition with a competitive edge and avoid discounting to help maintain traffic and increase check averages. The most important marketing a restaurant can do is to train managers to take care of guests and focus on on-premise promotions to give customers a reason for an extra visit.
Ocean Garden® Mexican 26/30’s are a great value proposition compared to high priced lobster or crab (both at historic highs) and a great vehicle to increase check averages. Regular pasta and salad dishes can become a special menu item by adding shrimp.
Ocean Garden Mexican shrimp yield is always 100% of the minimum net weight with no short weights when the shrimp are thawed. Ocean Garden® Mexican Shrimp are “All Natural” (chemical additive free) which guarantees a superior tasting product compared to shrimp from other origins.
Mexican Farm Raised Shrimp
Availability of our premium Ocean Garden® and standard Mark® brands include block frozen 26/30’s, 31/35’s, and IQF 21/25’s (10/2#). Ocean Garden® Extra Large 26/30’s are the best volume opportunity available for the month of April.
