Fishing for Meals This Lent?

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- As the tide turns toward the season of Lent, there is a steady stream of delicious and affordable dishes available in the frozen food aisle this year!

According to Rachael Ray magazine, the average American spends an hour prepping and cooking dinner, and that's where she the popular foodie says new and improved frozen dinners can help!  "They're fresher, tastier and healthier than ever before," the magazine touts.  Additionally, these delicious frozen products allow people to enjoy seafood for an affordable price in the comfort of their own home.   These benefits are particularly helpful during the season of Lent.

Lent, the 40 day period leading up to Easter when millions of Catholics, Anglicans, and observers of other faiths abstain from meat, is the single largest season for seafood of the year!   And, this season, frozen seafood will be the go-to seafood meal of choice for many because it is the simplest and most affordable way to enjoy great-tasting seafood at home, where most people are dining these days.  Jenna Reed, recipe director for SeaPak Shrimp Company, also dishes about these benefits and many others on her new blog, Savoring Shrimp and Seafood. .

As the #1 brand of frozen specialty shrimp in the country, and creator of delicious, high quality fish fillets, SeaPak products are known for their delicious and authentic tastes inspired by the coast.   In fact, major magazines such as Men's Health, Women's Health, Rachael Ray Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, American Baby and more have endorsed their delicious seafood line-up.  

Located on a barrier Island off of the coast of Georgia, SeaPak Shrimp Company has been infusing coastal seafood secrets into their signature recipes for more than 60 years, offering an authentic flavor and taste that is often only found in restaurants.

"SeaPak's great-tasting products not only bring seafood into the home, they provide a variety of seafood options that will satisfy the entire family," said Reed.  "From our best-selling Shrimp Scampi and Butterfly Shrimp to Salmon Burgers, Tilapia Tenders and Coconut Shrimp, consumers can find excellent options for Lent right in the frozen seafood section."
