Nutrition Strategies to Drive Foodservice Sales
Today’s foodservice consumers are health-conscious and hungry for transparency. And they expect chefs to build healthy menus that lead with flavor. Here are some tips.
Menu appeal
Culinary Institute of America chefs suggest, “many kinds of canned fish and shellfish, among other things—can be incorporated into healthy meals.” They advise, “Serve more kinds of seafood more often.” Appeal to your guests in your signature style with America’s top two favorite fish choices! Chicken of the Sea seafood complements an array of on-trend global and traditional flavors to inspire your creativity and elevate your appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, and entrees.
Healthy eating
Consumers are looking to eat less meat, and many regard seafood as the preferred choice. Wild-caught salmon and tuna are among America’s favorite fish, packed with protein and omega-3s. Differentiate your sandwiches with a rising star, the Grilled Alaska Salmon Burger. Or try Albacore or Genova Tuna on your salads with concepts like the Nicoise Salad or Herbed Tuna Feta Salad.
Take-out & delivery performance
Off-premises foodservice options command a piece of the pie. Ease of holding and quick prep position shelf-stable seafood products as your takeout heroes. Consider easy home meal concepts—and add-on tuna or flavored salmon packets to take-outs to boost your profits. Get inspired! See Take-Out & Delivery recipe concepts from Chicken of the Sea.
Comfort factor
Comfort food never abandons the top food trend lists. Now more than ever before, consumers crave the comfort of familiar foods that make them feel good. Tuna has always held a special place in the comfort food line-up, from Classic Tuna Salad to Mom’s Tuna Noodle Casserole and more. As for salmon, don’t forget Salmon Loaf and Salmon Mac & Cheese.
Quality control
Protect your brand and safeguard profit margins with a consistent product you can count on to keep your customers coming back. A dedicated quality control team at Chicken of the Sea maintains exacting standards for flavor profile, appearance, and yield of every product—every time.

Across all generations, consumers are willing to spend more for sustainable products.
