Curiosity breeds knowledge. Knowledge provides opportunities to showcase skills, ideas, and global businesses. At least, this is the case with the family-owned seafood business, Blue Circle Foods.

What started as a genuine wonder on how things in the seafood sector work has transformed Blue Circle Foods into a trusted global brand that delivers safe and delicious seafood produce while focusing on sustainable practices and ethical methods.

On this episode of the NexxtLevel Brands Podcast, Steve Cleere takes a deep dive with Blue Circle Foods Product Manager Nina Damato on what it takes to outsource seafood for retailers. They discuss the ins and outs of farming and why it has a bad rap, the birth of “Happy Fish”, and educating consumers on the safety and sustainability of seafood consumption. Nina also provides insights on the downsides of plant-based seafood and what it means for food to be “certified” under specific criteria.
