Seafood: Value-added
The Fresh Market stores feature a variety of unique value-added
items, including Maryland Crab Cakes, Sweet Italian Salmon Meatballs,
and Seafood Lasagna.
Seafood for health, high protein
As studies continue to show the benefits of seafood to health -
including increased brain cognition, preventing heart disease and
more - Americans are expected to buy more of the protein.
" Healthy eating will be a driver of seafood sales in 2025 and
beyond, " predicted Chuck Anderson, vice president of operations/
partner for Dallas-based Certified Quality Foods, which helps retailers
and distributors measure quality seafood. " More consumers in every
age group are looking for more nutritious meals [and] seafood is a
natural choice for these consumers. "
Plus, the aging and more ethnically diverse U.S. population will
help grow seafood sales as these demographics seek more seafood,
according to Anderson.
Health-conscious shoppers, which account for an estimated
$285 billion in spending at supermarkets annually, are buying more
from the fresh produce, seafood and other perimeter departments,
according to a recent dunnhumby report, " Better for You (Customer),
You (Brand), and You (Retailer). "
Seafood consistently appears in the top three or four departments
that shoppers most associate with positive health outcomes,
dunnhumby found, and health-conscious shoppers are less worried
about low prices on common goods than most shoppers. Instead,
they care more about natural and organic goods, products that meet
their dietary needs, a retailer that helps them make healthier choices
and reduces waste and promotes locally produced products and
sustainable packaging.
Additionally, the continuing shift toward high-protein diets such as
Keto and Paleo only bodes well for seafood sales as bodybuilders and
many others are looking for natural ways to get more low-saturated
fat proteins into their diets, Anderson noted.
" Consumers are looking to incorporate more protein in their
diet beyond traditional powders and bars, with an emphasis on
ramping up protein consumption at meal times and with 'whole food
snacking, " Whole Foods Market said in a press release about its Top 10
Food Trends in 2025 report.
Consumers are now prioritizing animal protein, and organ meats
are being touted as a superfood providing significant protein, vitamins
and minerals, Whole Foods said, leading shoppers to " seek meat
blends that combine traditional muscle meat like ground beef with
organ meats and making it easier to enjoy the nutritional benefits
without having to learn how to prepare liver, kidney or heart. "
Shoppers are also recognizing the role of seafood and other
healthy saturated fats in improving mental health. Mental health has
come into sharp focus " for just about everyone the last few years "
and there is growing body of research highlighting inflammation's
role in poor mental health, including anxiety and depression, Natural
Grocers said in its 2025 Trends outlook.
Inflammation drives overall poor brain function and has been
linked to the development of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's
and Parkinson's, according to Natural Grocers.
