FROM ‘SWICY’ SQUID TO MODERN MEDITERRANEAN: PACIFIC WEST UNVEILS 14 NEW PRODUCTS TO MEET EVOLVING CONSUMER TASTES

Pacific West, a global leader in premium value added seafood, is proud to announce the launch of its highly anticipated 2026 product brochure. Featuring 14 pioneering new products, the collection is designed to help foodservice operators navigate current labour challenges while meeting the evolving adventurous palates of British consumers.

As the frozen food category continues to grow in importance for back-of-house efficiency, Pacific West is leading the charge with a dual-format launch. The new brochure is available immediately as a traditional high-quality print edition and a versatile digital flipbook for instant industry access.

Leading the ‘Swicy’ and Global Fusion Trends

A headline addition to the range is the Hot Honey Spiral Squid. This product taps directly into the “swicy” (sweet and spicy) flavour profile currently dominating the UK food scene. By combining unique spiral-cut aesthetics with a fiery honey glaze, Pacific West offers chefs a high-margin, trend-led starter with zero preparation time.

Further expanding its global fusion offering, the 2026 range also introduces Teriyaki Salmon Portions and artisan Noodle Prawns, providing consistent, high-quality Japanese-inspired options that reduce the need for highly skilled kitchen labour.

Innovation in Convenience: The Ready-to-Eat Range

Recognising the industry-wide shift towards energy-efficient cooking methods, Pacific West has introduced five new Fully Cooked, Ready-to-Eat products. These are specifically engineered for optimum performance in the food to go sector:

  • Bubble Tempura Prawns: A sophisticated, light-textured coating for the modern menu.
  • Popcorn Shrimp & AirCrisp Prawns: Bite-sized solutions for the growing snacking and “topper” markets.
  • Panko Prawns: Delivering the ultimate golden crunch with authentic Japanese breadcrumbs.

The Modern Mediterranean Collection

In response to the enduring popularity of Mediterranean cuisine, Pacific West has curated a specific sub-collection designed for the tapas and small-plate sectors. Highlights include Truffle PrawnsSquid Arrosticini SkewersFish Stuffed Olives, and Breaded Anchovy Fillets, offering operators a sophisticated “coastal” aesthetic with minimal waste.

“Our 2026 collection is a testament to our commitment to the frozen food sector,” says Martin Finegan at Pacific West. “We aren’t just providing seafood; we are providing solutions. Whether it’s through our new ‘AirCrisp’ technology or our trend-driven Mediterranean range, we are helping operators to deliver excellence under pressure.”
