SEATTLE, Oct. 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Holland America Line is building on its groundbreaking
global fresh fish program by joining Vital Choice® in a
collaboration that will have guests enjoying the same fresh fish
cuisine recipes at sea and at home. Vital Choice, the trusted
source for premium wild-caught fish and seafood, shares Holland
America Line's commitment to serving fish that is flavorful and
responsibly sourced.
Holland America guests can now enjoy 3
Vital Choice fish-inspired dishes developed by the cruise line's
chefs at home.
Guests will be able to enjoy three Vital Choice-inspired dishes
developed by Holland America Line chefs at home. Shoppers can order
three fish varieties online or through the Vital Choice and Harry
& David catalogues to prepare with a Holland America Line
recipe in their own kitchen: Wild Alaska Halibut, Wild Pacific King
Salmon and Wild Chilean Sea Bass. Guests also will be able to enjoy
the three Vital Choice-inspired dishes while sailing onboard in the
Caribbean and Alaska.
"Holland America Line and Vital Choice share the belief that
fish should taste great and be sustainably sourced, making this an
ideal collaboration for our guests and Vital Choice customers,"
said Michael Stendebach, vice
president of food, beverage and guest services for Holland America
Line. "Our team of chefs developed recipes that perfectly highlight
the varieties of fish we will serve in Lido Market and are featured
in the Vital Choice catalogue, and we look forward to debuting the
dishes on board."
The collaboration and recipes will be promoted on board, through
the Vital Choice and Harry & David catalogues, online, through
social media and e-mail marketing. Kicking off this month, Holland
America Line guests on the six ships in the Caribbean will be able to select a Gold Gala
Pan-Seared Sea Bass dish in Lido Market. When the Alaska season resumes with six ships in April,
Pacific Halibut with Lime Tarragon Aioli, and Alaska Grilled King
Salmon Filet with Capers and Dill entrees will be added to the Lido
markets. The fresh fish dishes at Lido Market are complimentary for
all guests.
"With Holland America Line, and through exceptional cuisine,
we're furthering our vision to inspire more expression, connection,
and celebration," said Joseph
Rowland, group president, Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets,
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. "By uniting our dedication to high-quality,
sustainably sourced fish and innovative recipes, we're fostering
connections and creating memorable culinary experiences for all to
enjoy, whether they're cruising or savoring at home."
The Wild Alaska Halibut, Wild Pacific King Salmon and Wild
Chilean Sea Bass are available for purchase in 4- or 6-ounce
options, with the choice of six, 12 or 24 portions. Recipes for the
Seared King Salmon and Broiled Halibut are featured in the
catalogue, and all recipes will be on VitalChoice.com, so home
chefs can recreate the delicious dishes in their own kitchen.
