The Fish Said Fred Oven Ready range was launched in April 2023, to offer shoppers a convenient, accessible and delicious way to integrate more fish into their diet. These convenience products continue to be a key strategic opportunity for the brand and category, with added value spend growth within chilled fish +9% YoY (Kantar: Total Chilled Fish | Total Market | Spend Share & Growth | 52 w/e 17 March 2024).
