Although the number of new seafood product launches at Alimentaria 2006 appeared to be on the decline, those that were on display were clearly aimed at the convenience sector of the market, as BemadetteToumay reports. Alimentaria 2006's innovation prize was won by what was billed as the 'first back of the fridge [refrigerator] fish product', SoloLomos from Spanish company Angulas Aguinaga SA. Launched in April 2005, the range of chilled salmon, cod and hake fillets is packed in 2 x loog portions witha 42-day shelf-life. Says Angulas Aguinaga's Isabel Lorea: 'They are packed in two loog packs [per carton] so you can eat one at a time. It's [the fillets are] healthy and easy to cook, no bones, skin or pinbones. You don't need to clean it and in two minutes you open it and heat it in a pan or microwave.
