JCS Expands BigFish Portfolio

JCS Fish has expanded its BigFish™ smoked portfolio with two hot smoked fillets, Hot Smoked Salmon and Hot Smoked Trout. The products will be initially available in a tie-up with one of the UK’s fastest-growing recipe box specialists, Mindful Chef.

BigFish Hot Smoked fresh fillets are available in 130g packs of two, naturally brined salmon or trout fillets, made without sugar and lightly hot smoked with oak. Both feature in a number of Mindful Chef recipe boxes, which contain ethically sourced fresh ingredients.

These are the first hot-smoked products from JCS Fish’s new smokehouse, launched in Grimsby last year.

“The Covid-19 lockdown has generated a massive expansion in the home meal market, and all the Mindful Chef healthy recipes that feature our products have proved extremely popular so far. We expect considerable interest in these Hot Smoked fillets from our wider customer base and will also make them available in the next few weeks through our own online channel,” Jack Coulbeck, commercial manager of JCS Fish said.
