Whether your fresh fish is sourced from close regional fisheries in New Zealand, or snap frozen for premium quality and imported, Bidfood is committed to supporting both the industry and our sustainability values. This year our partner Seafrost was awarded Best Sustainable Seafood Product in Australia, so you can be sure you’re buying environmentally-conscious choices, without compromising on taste or quality.
Healthy and delicious, fish is bursting with healthy, brain-boosting omega three fats, vitamin D and calcium. This popular protein is a great addition to your core menu, and when it arrives snap-frozen with locked-in flavour, pre-portioned and even pre-prepped, all you need to do is create your own spin on it and send it out – no wastage or high labour costs.
Norwegian Atlantic salmon is farmed in cold crystal-clear waters delivering a high-end product with a clean rich taste. Dry smoked, hot smoked, fresh whole fillets or pre-portioned into fillets, the cooking methods and flavour combinations are endless. Salmon is historically a wonderful celebration protein too; pair oily fish like salmon and tuna with spring greens, asparagus, citrus, avocado, radish and peas, all of which are abundant and affordable in spring.
Dress it up
Fish is a great place for chefs to get creative. Match it with fresh, zesty flavours like lemon and lime, elevate the flavours with a hint of spice, or go bold with strong, punchy flavours that really elevate the fish species.
Match your fish with fresh zesty flavours and keep it light and simple or go bold with strong punchy flavours to elevate a particular species. Enjoy experimenting with international cooking methods and combinations;

flame-cook fish with Indian-style flavours like masala, tandoori or curry;
