Pacific West, the UK’s trusted leader in trend-driven seafood innovation, is proud to announce the launch of its 2026 Mediterranean Collection. Building on a global reputation for premium seafood, Pacific West is expanding its portfolio with four sophisticated new products designed to bring delicious creativity to British menus.
This curated collection has been developed specifically for pub and restaurant groups, and independent operators looking to capture the “forever trend” of Mediterranean dining through high-quality, operationally efficient solutions.
The 2026 Mediterranean Collection
The range features four standout innovations designed for total menu flexibility:
- Truffle Prawns: The “crown jewel” of the collection. Tapping into the immense popularity of truffle across the retail and premium dining sectors, these succulent prawns are infused with an earthy, luxurious aroma and finished in a signature crisp coating. This product delivers instant premiumisation, allowing operators to leverage the high-value “truffle” name to drive up-sell opportunities and increase average spend per head.
- Squid Arrosticini Skewers: Inspired by the traditional Abruzzese style of uniform, delicate skewers, these bring an artisan, hand-crafted aesthetic to the plate with zero kitchen prep. The tender squid is an absolute menu winner.
- Fish Stuffed Olives: A sophisticated, umami-rich innovation that merges premium Mediterranean olives with a succulent fish centre and a crisp, golden coating.
- Breaded Anchovy Fillets: A refined take on a coastal classic. These fillets offer a bold, savoury flavour profile with a signature crunch, perfect as a premium alternative to standard seafood bites.
Maximum Taste, Minimum Waste
In an era where kitchen efficiency and margin protection are paramount, this collection is engineered to perform. Each item is designed to be cooked from frozen, allowing chefs to react instantly to demand without the risks of raw prep, spoilage, or high labour costs.
The collection offers total flexibility across the entire menu. Whether featured as luxury bar snacks, tapas-style sharing plates, elegant starters, or premium toppers for salads and pastas, these products allow operators to deliver a fabulous guest experience with ease.
A New Direction for 2026
“Pacific West has always been synonymous with quality and innovation in the seafood sector,” says Martin Finegan, Managing Director at Pacific West. “For 2026, we wanted to bring that same level of expertise and our signature coatings but with a Mediterranean focus. This range is about giving chefs the creative freedom to update their menus with high-impact, low-labour solutions that fit perfectly into the modern British dining landscape.”
