What it is
Sainsbury's Seafood Selection is a convenient and versatile frozen product. It typically contains a mix of different types of seafood, such as prawns, mussels, and squid rings. This blend offers a variety of textures and flavors, making it a good base for many dishes. The seafood is usually pre-cooked and frozen to preserve its freshness and quality, ready to be incorporated into your favorite meals with minimal preparation.
How people cook with it
This seafood mix is ideal for adding a taste of the sea to a wide range of dishes. It can be quickly added to sauces, stir-fries, or pasta dishes.
- Pasta sauces
- Seafood paella
- Fish pie topping
- Seafood risotto
To use Sainsbury's Seafood Selection, it is best to thaw the contents thoroughly before cooking. You can do this by placing the frozen seafood in a refrigerator overnight or by placing the sealed bag in cold water. Once thawed, drain any excess liquid. The seafood can then be added to your chosen dish during the final stages of cooking. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the seafood tough. It is perfect for gently simmering in sauces or adding to hot dishes just before serving to heat through.
How it differs from similar foods
This selection differs from individual frozen seafood products by offering a pre-portioned mix. It saves time and effort compared to buying and preparing different types of seafood separately. The combination of textures and flavors provides a balanced seafood experience in one convenient package.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Once thawed, Sainsbury's Seafood Selection should not be refrozen. Store any unused portion in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. Ensure the product is kept chilled to maintain its quality and safety.
