Blumar obtained third place within the framework of the prestigious competition that is part of the Seafood Show Latin America 2025, with a proposal that combines innovation and sustainability.
October 24, 2025. Did you know that sushi is Chileans’ favorite dish when ordering food for delivery? The “X-ray of Chileans’ Lunch,” developed by Cadem, confirms it: when Chileans order food for delivery, sushi leads preferences with 31%. This marked preference for Asian gastronomy has made Chile an expert country not only in sushi, but also in tempura and other Japanese preparations. That experience inspired Blumar to develop an innovative product that today is being recognized internationally.
It is an innovative product that transforms salmon pulp into delicious tempura-style strips, combining gourmet flavor with sustainability, which was recognized in Brazil. This proposal, developed by Blumar, obtained third place in the Seafood Innovation Show, part of the Seafood Show Latin America 2025 held in São Paulo, standing out among eight finalists and the main salmon farming groups in Chile.
The awarded product represents a significant advance in terms of innovation and sustainability, by transforming premium salmon pulp –previously intended for flour production– into a high-value food for human consumption. This proposal combines flavor, practicality and environmental responsibility, characteristics that were decisive in obtaining the recognition.
“It is a product that is having great success in Latin America, especially in Mexico. In Brazil we had an excellent response from customers during tastings at the fair, and we are confident it will continue to grow rapidly. This recognition reinforces Blumar’s innovative spirit, which constantly seeks new consumption opportunities for salmon,” said Blumar’s Sales Manager for Latin America, Bastián Parischewsky.
The innovation stands out for its light and crispy tempura coating that brings out the natural flavor of salmon and comes in an attractive and sustainable monolayer recyclable LDPE 4 package.
“The next step is to be more present with our brand in supermarkets, offering an attractive proposal that is close to consumers. This recognition drives us to continue strengthening that presence and to keep innovating with purpose,” highlighted Blumar’s Marketing Manager, Felipe Fuentes.
The Seafood Show Latin America 2025, which in its previous edition brought together more than 100 brands from 18 countries, has established itself as one of the region’s main seafood product marketing events, creating an environment conducive to business generation and strengthening of the regional production chain. During the event, Blumar actively participated in business rounds with potential buyers from throughout Latin America.
Blumar’s participation is especially relevant considering that Brazil has established itself as the third most important market for Chilean salmon, with historic export figures that demonstrate the growing interest of Brazilian consumers in high nutritional quality products such as salmon.
The recognition reaffirms the company’s commitment to developing innovative products that respond to new consumption trends, while maintaining high standards of quality and sustainability.
