We’re all for treating ourselves to decadent meals, but we always tend to gravitate towards seafood when we’re looking for guilt-free indulgence. Salmon, in all of its glorious forms, is the ultimate treat. Who doesn’t love a perfectly pan-fried cut of salmon, or a spicy, creamy curry overflowing with plump pieces of shrimp? And when it comes to that weekend BBQ, there’s nothing quite like seeing grill marks on seafood. Lucky for us, research is on our side when it comes to including more seafood goodness into our diets; it’s one of the easiest ways to improve your health and wellbeing. Whether you love salmon or shrimp, Zubaidi or calamari, seafood is a key source of nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins (D & B2), and minerals like calcium, phosphorus and more. A 2012 meta-analysis study commissioned by the Canadian Center of Science and Education showed that communities with diets that were high in seafood showed a lower prevalence of many lifestyle-based diseases like obesity, diabetes and heart issues.

Now, adding more fish to our weekly intake is a breeze with Ocean’s Pride. Brought to us by the good folks at Alyasra Foods and available at all retailers across Kuwait, Ocean’s Pride presents delicious seafood offerings that are good for you! Whatever you may be craving, know that all of Ocean’s Pride offerings are hormone free (with their prized Salmon offering being both hormone and antibiotic-free), exceptionally tasty and flavorful while providing you with the key health benefits you need—all at amazing accessible prices that offer you the best value for money.
The Ocean’s Pride line offers a wide selection of frozen seafood for your enjoyment and convenience. Everything is sourced directly from the best global suppliers and is meticulously quality checked before it is imported. All the products carry the “Alyasra’s Quality Seal” and they make sure that the ‘Source to plate journey’ is tracked, monitored and continually adjusted to ensure every product’s pristine condition. All of Ocean’s Pride products are flash frozen as soon as they’re harvested and are processed, cleaned and filleted in a consistently cold environment to ensure the highest safety and quality standards.
Frozen seafood has so many benefits that are often forgotten. The long shelf-life means you can stock your freezer and never worry about needing to run for ingredients. All you need to do is thaw it gradually in the fridge the night before you plan to cook it so it defrosts gently. It also prevents food waste since you can portion out exactly the amount you need without having to thaw the entire package.
This added convenience means it is much easier to cook seafood more often, and you will be reaping all the benefits without any of the hassle of buying fresh fish. Finally, no one really wants to deal with the cleaning, descaling and chopping up of fresh fish or the kitchen clean-up afterwards.
Additionally, frozen fish is better for the environment since it doesn’t need to be air-freighted. Which also means that logistical costs are decreased and these savings are passed on to you as the consumer so it is great value for money and economical.

In terms of nutritional value, the freezing technology used by Ocean’s Pride producers and vendors is far more advanced than the freezers we have at home. Flash-freezing, seals in all the nutrients and protects protein and fat structures. Texture, flavor and nutritional value are preserved and are identical to a freshly caught fish.
Shrimp, by far, is the biggest available category at Ocean’s Pride since it comes in several sizes and variants, from the simply peeled to breaded butterfly and popcorn shrimps sourced from world-class suppliers. Shrimp is a chameleon when it comes to food and can easily fit into almost any dish. You can grill them, bake them, deep fry them or add them to a creamy pasta sauce.
If you are looking for a fish that works perfectly with our local cuisine and recipes, then look no further than the Zubaidi, also known as pomfret. It is low in calories and high protein as well as being an excellent source of fish oil that supports brain development in kids as well as a myriad of health benefits. If you struggle with anemia or are trying to make sure you are getting enough iron through your diet naturally, then reach for the Zubaidi. And for those of us who want younger looking skin, Zubaidi is rich in vitamin D.
Ocean’s Pride offers a lot more, like quality cod and sea bass fillets as well as already breaded shrimp for your convenience, lobster tails, and yummy New Zealand Green Shell mussels. These are perfect for whipping up quick nutritious meals without needing a lot of prep or work.
Having access to this wide array of options will help you choose seafood more days of the week and your body and mind will thank you for it. The next time you are buying groceries, pick up a selection of Ocean’s Pride so you are all set for the week.
