Hook Line and Savor this Allergy-Friendly, Ocean-to-Table Seafood

It’s becoming quite easy to find “free-from” desserts, but creative, convenient, and wholesome entrees are still hard to come by. Fortunately, Hook Line and Savor is shoring up several varieties of prepared seafood products that are high quality, amazingly delicious, and allergy-friendly.

Hook Line and Savor is a new brand of dairy-free, gluten-free, and egg-free seafood entrees that’s reeling us in with enticing flavors and transparent practices. Their initial line of wild-caught fish includes Black Bean Crusted Cod with Roasted Corn & Red Pepper Salsa, Citrus Ginger Salmon with Garlic & Brown Sugar Sauce, and Crispy Beer Battered Haddock with Classic New England Tartar Sauce.

Hook Line and Savor this Allergy-Friendly, Ocean-to-Table Seafood

Honestly, I try to be virtuous when grocery shopping. But dairy-free is my top priority, so I sometimes sacrifice on quality, sourcing, or nutrition when placing items in my cart. But Hook Line and Savor is the whole package, from allergy management to sustainably-sourced ingredients. They believe taste, quality, and allergy-friendly should not be mutually exclusive.

Allergy Conscious Cuisine

All Hook Line and Savor seafood is made without dairy, eggs, gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, and soy. And they take pride in the rigor of their allergen management program to ensure their products are safe for those with food allergies and intolerances.

For dairy, gluten and egg, they test incoming and finished products using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) test method. Gluten is tested to confirm levels below 20 ppm (the level determined safe by the FDA). Dairy and egg are tested to the limit of detection or 2.5 ppm. See their Allergy FAQs to learn more – they have kindly shared so much detail and information!

Quality Seafood

This is the fish you would use if you were cooking from scratch at home. It’s cut from wild-caught whole fillets, not treated with any solutions or chemicals, and frozen fresh.

And Hook Line and Savor doesn’t skimp on flavor. It was their team’s mission to create inspired recipes that friends and family, with or without dietary restrictions, could easily enjoy together.

Sustainable Practices

Hook Line and Savor is so proud of the wild fish they use that they print a catch code on the top of each carton. The code allows consumers to look up where and how their fish was caught.

Hook Line and Savor has also partnered with the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium. They are on the cutting edge of sustainability science and innovation to ensure continuous improvement in responsible sourcing practices.

And Hook Line and Savor donates 5% of profits for each item sold to SeaShare. This is a non-profit dedicated to increasing the amount of high-quality seafood available at food banks and feeding centers across the country.

Why Does Hook Line and Savor Care So Much?

Frederica (aka Freddie), the founder of Hook Line and Savor, has a son who was diagnosed with several life threatening food allergies as an infant. Grocery shopping yielded some good options for her family’s new needs, but she quickly realized there were no prepared seafood products they could enjoy together.  So she and several of her coworkers at Gorton’s Seafood came together to create delicious allergy-friendly recipes that they felt good about feeding to their families.

The development team at Hook Line and Savor has a variety of food restrictions, so they have crafted cuisine that’s suitable for many allergic and dietary concerns. But they were also inspired by delicious recipes, have a craving for good quality seafood, and are committed to sustainability and giving back to the community. Because at the end of the day, we all live on the same planet.
