It’s that time of the year when major supermarket chains have a habit of sharing their list of food trend predictions, and Waitrose made quite a splash with theirs. “Seacuterie” is one of the trends that made the cut, but what is this new food craze all about?
Don’t let the fancy name fool you since there’s not much difference between it and pescetarianism – being vegetarian while still including seafood in your diet.
Long story short, seafood is going to be all the rage in 2020, but here’s what Waitrose’s recent report had to say about this rising trend: “This is a reimagining of charcuterie, using seafood instead of meat. It’s likely to become even more popular as chefs and enthusiastic cooks begin to add value to fish in ways they’ve done with meat for many years.”
Seacuterie includes pickling, fermenting, smoking, and/or aging seafood, in a similar way it was done with traditional meat in charcuterie.
