Young’s Gastro Inspiring Category Growth Through New Ways To Enjoy Fish
(UNITED KINGDOM, 8/22/2016)
Young’s Gastro, one of Young’s Seafood’s power brands, is now the UK’s 6th fastest growing FMCG brand. Worth over GBP 57m (GBP 75 million), Gastro has grown 31% in the last year. Gastro is the number one brand in premium fish, now twice the size of its nearest competitor, with its proposition of delivering restaurant quality fish clearly resonating with shoppers who are looking for quality and inspiration from the frozen aisle.
Proven to draw in new shoppers to the category, Gastro is one of the biggest success stories for frozen fish, and has one of the strongest repeat rates in the category.

Perfect for starters, lunch, sharing and tapas, our new mini fishcakes, are set to inspire people to enjoy fish outside of the main evening meal to further drive category growth. The innovative packaging format of tray and sleeve takes cues from the chilled aisle, enabling shoppers to see the products in store, and each variant comes with a perfectly paired dip, further enhancing the restaurant cues of the range
The ultimate chunky Cod fish fingers are wrapped in the Gastro signature, best-selling, tempura batter – with larger portion sizes set to appeal to adults and older families who enjoy this gastro-pub favourite.
