Phillips is commemorating 100 years of creating innovative seafood products by adding six new flavor cakes to its portfolio. The new products include Dungeness Crab Cakes, Salmon Cakes, Zesty Tuna Burgers, Lobster Cakes, Spicy Shrimp Cakes, and Latin Cakes.
The new offerings were developed with convenience, versatility and menu optimization in mind. Available in multiple sizes (4, 3.25, 3 and 0.75 ounce), Phillips flavor cakes require no thaw time before cooking and can be baked, pan-sautéed, or fried. A flexible option for multiple dayparts, they can be served center of the plate, as an appetizer or sandwich, or à la carte to enhance other menu items.
With consumers’ growing demand for spicy offerings and a widespread desire for lighter, healthier options, Phillips’ cakes provide chefs and operators the ability to capitalize on current trends.
