Sea Cuisine Boston Giveaway

Last month, I received an email from Sea Cuisine about a promotion they were offering to Boston residents.  I had never heard of or tried any Sea Cuisine products prior to this so I did my research.  According to their website, Sea Cuisine is part of the High Liner Food family and offers frozen seafood meals that are already prepared.  When I read this, I'll admit that I was skeptical.  I was envisioning some form of fish stick that would contain an unidentifiable and mushy fish filling.  So when the folks at Sea Cuisine offered to send some products my way, I wasn't sure what to expect.

But I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised.  I got a few different products but the one that I've tried out so far is the Coconut Crusted Tilapia:

In terms of preparation, the fish can stay in your freezer until you are ready to cook it.  It just requires a simple twenty-five minutes in the oven at 375 degrees.

Since I was already reaching into the freezer for our dinner, I also found a package of edamame in the freezer.  I decided to do a simple preparation by steaming the edamame and then tossing the cooking edamame with some fresh cracked sea salt.

As the tilapia was cooking, I was surprised to smell enticing aromas from the oven.  And it looked delicious when it was done.  The golden brown crust was lightly crusted with coconut flakes and crushed tortilla chips along with hints of pineapple and papaya.  I will admit that fruit flavors did get a little lost in the crust.

This was a surprisingly delicious frozen meal and definitely a great alternative to my lazy stir-fry or pizza delivery nights.  Although I'm not the biggest fan of frozen dinners, there is no denying that the tilapia tasted fresh and was light and flaky.  In other words, it totally didn't taste like the frozen fish stick I was envisioning.

So, here's where the promotion comes in.  Throughout the month of May, Sea Cuisine will be giving away 4,000 free dinners to Boston residents.  You can enter by heading to their Boston giveaway website.  In addition, they are also giving away a $200 seafood celebration to one Boston resident to host a seafood dinner.  The "seafood celebration" package includes:

• 12 Sea Cuisine free entrée coupons for hostess and friends;
• $75 grocery gift card;
• $50 beverage gift card; and
• $50 hostess thank you gift.

If you have any questions about the promotion, let me know and I'll be happy to direct you to the right people at Sea Cuisine.  Thanks to Stacey Allaire at Sea Cuisine for introducing your product and this promotion to my readers.
