And we also wanted to share something a little more personal. We asked our staff, who were present at the stand, a simple yet insightful question: 

What’s your favourite Blue Wave product?

Most team members had a different answer, reflecting the diversity of our seafood range. Here’s what they had to say.

Felice, State Manager VIC/TAS Favourite: Blue Wave Crunchy Battered Whiting

For Felice, the Blue Wave Crunchy Battered Whiting is the winner. A passionate seafood lover, Felice appreciates whiting for its mild, delicate flavour and versatility in the kitchen.

What makes this product stand out for Felice, is the perfect balance between the fish and the batter. ”The coating on it is divine,” he says, noting how the crunchy batter complements the tender, flaky fish inside.

Its versatility means it can be used in a wide range of dishes - from simple fish and chips to more sophisticated meals like seafood tacos or gourmet salads. If you’re feeling creative, why not try our Crunchy Battered Fish Burger using this product? It’s a delicious and easy way to impress.

Rebecca, Sales Executive Favourite: Blue Wave Tempura Fish Cocktails

Rebecca chose the Blue Wave Tempura Fish Cocktails as her favourite product. And for good reasons! This product is known for its light, crisp batter and generous amount of fish to batter ratio, offering the perfect balance of texture and flavour. “It is succulent,” Rebecca explains, pointing out that the high ratio of fish to batter ensures you’re getting a quality product that doesn’t skimp on the main ingredient.

The Tempura Fish Cocktails are ideal for finger food menus, appetisers, or even a quick seafood snack. They’re easy to prepare and pair well with a range of dipping sauces or side dishes. The high fish content also makes them a more satisfying option, offering that fresh, succulent bite that keeps people coming back for more.

Simon, Technical Innovation Manager Favourite: Blue Wave Panko Crumbed Stretched Prawns

For Simon, the Blue Wave Panko Crumbed Stretched Prawns is exceptional. These prawns are covered in a light, crispy panko crumb and offer great convenience and flavour. Simon notes that the perfect combination of prawn and the crunch of the panko crumb creates an amazing bite every time. 

One of the things he loves about this product is how easy it is to prepare. These prawns cook up quickly and evenly. They are perfect to be served as a starter, in seafood platters, or even in a gourmet prawn sandwich, making them popular with both chefs and customers.

Alessandro, NPD Imports Manager and Mikhial, General Manager Food Service Favourite: Blue Wave Prawn Cones

It is rare to find two team members who agree on their top choice, and both Alessandro and Mikhial are in agreement about the Blue Wave Prawn Cones being their favourite. These appetisers are not just visually appealing and original, they also hit the mark in terms of taste and convenience.

Alessandro loves how easy they are to cook and serve, making them ideal for large events, catered functions, or simply as an impressive and original starter.

Mikhial was initially surprised by how much he enjoyed the prawn cones. “I didn’t think this would be my favourite, but it is definitely something I enjoy,” he said, emphasising the product’s unique appeal. It’s often the case that some of our seafood offerings become unexpected favourites, and the prawn cones have certainly captured the attention of both our team and customers.

The Blue Wave difference: Sustainability, Simplicity, and Flavour

At Blue Wave, we take immense pride in sourcing only the highest quality seafood, ensuring that every product we offer meets our strict standards for quality, flavour, and sustainability.

Many of our seafood products, such as the Crunchy Battered Whiting, are MSC Certified, which means they are sustainably sourced, protecting both the environment and the future of our oceans.

What makes Blue Wave seafood truly stand out is the generous amount of seafood in every bite. Whether it's our Tempura Fish Cocktails or Panko Crumbed Prawns, we ensure that the seafood, not the batter or coating, is the star of the dish. This dedication to quality is why chefs and food service professionals trust Blue Wave products in their kitchens.

Our seafood is also easy to cook and prepare, making it ideal for busy commercial kitchens. From frying to baking to adding them to your favourite seafood dishes, our products are as versatile as they are delicious.

We invite you to explore our range and see for yourself the quality and flavour that Blue Wave is known for.

Try our products, and just like Mikhial, you might be surprised by which one becomes your new favourite!
