Trying them at home and loving their products, I thought it’s worth writing about Asmak and adventure into sending couple of their frozen products in our monthly Box.
Asmak is a pioneer in the region's aquaculture industry and a leading provider of fresh and frozen seafood in the Middle East. Asmak offers a large range of high quality frozen and breaded products including fish burgers, fish nuggets, fish fingers, calamari rings, popcorn shrimps, butterfly shrimps, cooking shrimps in different sizes, crab sticks, lobster tails, the delicious seafood cocktail, salmon fillet and the famous White Fish Fillet. What a better way to get closer to these products than to try them yourself and taste the delicious and fresh flavors of these seafood products.
Breaded fish fillet, Salmon fillet, White fish fillet and large shrimp all made it on our table. They smell good, have an interesting texture and also taste good. My wife personally loved them.
