American Pride Seafoods Teams Up With Zatarain's at the SouthWest Expo and Texas Restaurant Association Show

American Pride Seafoods, one of North America's premier seafood suppliers, and Zatarain's will combine efforts at the SouthWest Expo and Texas Restaurant Association show.

The two companies are working together during the show to create new and creative product samples for attendees. American Pride will provide catfish and sea scallops to combine with Zatarain's authentic New Orleans flavors for unique and flavorful product samples, which will be available at booth locations 1620 and 1521 throughout the three-day event, June 26-28, at the Dallas Convention Center.

"We're always looking for new, creative methods for product sampling at food shows, and Zatarain's works extremely well with our seafood products," said Randy Rhodes, vice president and chief sales and marketing officer of American Pride Seafoods. "These samples are the result of our search for unique and interesting flavors."

American Pride Seafoods produces five of the top 10 seafood species ranked by per capita consumption, including cod, Alaska pollock, salmon, sea scallops, and U.S. farm-raised catfish. Freshness and quality are among the top priorities for the products, Rhodes said, based on feedback and input from its customers.

American Pride Seafoods distributes its products through a variety of channels, including broad-line foodservice distributors, seafood specialty distributors, national chain account distributors and retailers.

"We are working to make American Pride the seafood brand that is known by consumers through extensive marketing across all market segments and channels," Rhodes said. "Our domestic scope of distribution includes the 48 contiguous states, and we also have our own trucking fleet to distribute products around the country."
