Business was booming at the Winter Fancy Food Show, January 13-15, 2008 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA. The show attracted over 30,000 attendees from specialty food, wine, gift, and department stores; supermarkets; restaurants; and mail order and other related businesses that will come to see more than 2,100 exhibitors from around the world.

The Gourmet Retailer Magazine is happy to offer you a post-show sneak peek at some of the never-before-seen products that were unveiled at the show. These products were the latest offerings from exhibitors who participated in our unique Show Sizzler Advertising Program, an exclusive TGR program that is not affiliated with the Winter Fancy Food Show.

The taste of wind, weather and clear cold water; it's not a flavor that needs improving. We create our special seafood products in small batches, like people on the Maine coast have been doing for generations — loaded with fish and seafood from the cold North Atlantic and simple, all-natural ingredients. It's as close to fresh off the docks of Maine as you can get without being here.
