Holland America, Vital Choice team on fresh fish at home

Vital Choice, a source for premium wild-caught fish and seafood, shares the line's commitment to serving responsibly sourced fish.

Halibut, salmon and sea bass

Shoppers can order three fish varieties online or through the Vital Choice and Harry & David catalogues to prepare with a Holland America Line recipe in their own kitchen: wild Alaska halibut, wild Pacific king salmon and wild Chilean sea bass. Passengers will also be able to order the three Vital Choice-inspired dishes while sailing in the Caribbean and Alaska.

'Our team of chefs developed recipes that perfectly highlight the varieties of fish we will serve in Lido Market and are featured in the Vital Choice catalogue, and we look forward to debuting the dishes on board,' said HAL's Michael Stendebach, VP food, beverage and guest services.

The collaboration and recipes will be promoted on board, through the Vital Choice and Harry & David catalogues, online, through social media and e-mail marketing. Kicking off this month, HAL passengers on the six ships in the Caribbean will be able to select a Gold Gala pan-seared sea bass dish in Lido Market. When the Alaska season resumes with six ships in April, Pacific halibut with lime tarragon aioli and Alaska grilled king salmon fillet with capers and dill entrees will be added to the Lido markets.

Sizes and portions 

Via Vital Choice, wild Alaska halibut, wild Pacific king salmon and wild Chilean sea bass are available for purchase in 4- or 6-ounce options, with the choice of six, 12 or 24 portions. Recipes for the seared king salmon and broiled halibut are featured in the catalogue, and all recipes will be on VitalChoice.com, so home chefs can recreate the dishes. 

Teaming up with Vital Choice comes after Holland America Line recently announced a new fresh fish program that engages a global network of 60 ports to source and serve 80 types of fresh fish on board in all restaurants.
