Although the holidays are finished, thinking of ideas for a menu change or an events menu are always a dilemma. The idea of impressing everyone with delicious food is always the goal. Luckily, Shore Mariner has always considered these values when it comes to developing products. Shore Mariner is one of the biggest raw and value added seafood manufacturers with quality and solution as a priority. Shore Mariner offers various value added seafood from prawns to squids, coated with different batters. It’ll be difficult to finalise which product would be the best option to be part of your seafood platter, or ingredient for your dish.

To name a few value added seafood products, Shore Mariner’s two popular products are the Salt & Pepper Squid Twists and the Panko Squid Rings. Whilst both contain the same seafood, they are noticeably cut and coated differently. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why it should be added to your seafood platter which is for differentiation. It gives everyone various flavours to taste, as well as texture to experience. The question is, what are the differences between these two?

Shore Mariner’s Salt & Pepper Squid Twists is an exquisite product. Wild caught and tenderised which makes this product fresh and not as chewy, which is always a concern when it comes to squid. Pineapple cut strips and are seasoned with salt and pepper coating. The Salt & Pepper Squid Twists is great by itself with some dipping sauce such as aioli. However, if you’d like to be adventurous you could add this to your dish.

Shore Mariner’s Panko Squid Rings is another delicious product. Also wild caught, tenderised and low in fat. Cut into rings and hand-crumbed with traditional Panko Style Crumbs. The Panko Squid Rings are awesome by itself dipped with sweet chilli sauce or added to other dishes, perhaps a seafood burger?

Both products have their own method of cooking to get the best outcome. However, they are best to cook deep fry to achieve that crunchy outer texture yet tender squid on the inside. If deep fry isn’t your thing, the Salt & Pepper Squid Twist can be pan fried or oven baked.

Not only the Salt & Pepper Squid Twist and Panko Squid Rings would be the perfect components for a seafood platter for gathering or events, for a normal day, they are also the best when it comes to seafood baskets or part of your fish and chips combo.
