Monday at the International Seafood ShowHad a game plan to find new value added products to sell on my website http://www.jdseafoodexpress.com/ (and sample a few of the available products. I am trying to find those value added products that taste good, have a marketing appeal and I can get in Detroit for a reasonable cost. I cannot inventory 1000 lbs of a product in hopes that I will be able to sell them - so I need to get products that another supplier can bring in to Detroit and inventory for me until I actually sell them.
Products of interest included:

An issue of discussion is the Sustainable Seafood Movement - only a buzzword 6 or 7 years ago, Sustainablility is now a seafood corporate ethic. Seafood buyers are implementing seafood purchasing policies to ensure they buy products from a renewable source and are harvested or raised in environmentally and socially responsible ways. What needs to happend now is to develop policies that also make business sense.
