When it comes to delivering crowd-pleasing, cost-effective dishes, finger foods remain a staple of the Australian foodservice scene. Whether you're running a bustling bistro, catering an event, operating a high-volume pub kitchen, or refreshing your cafe menu, the right selection of quick-serve seafood can help you stand out – without blowing out your food costs.

Blue Wave's range of frozen finger foods is designed with this exact goal in mind: to help chefs, caterers, and kitchen managers serve top-notch seafood, faster. With no compromise on quality and big ticks for versatility, the Blue Wave range brings you practical, high-value options like squid rings, tempura prawns, and fish cocktails that adapt beautifully across different cuisine styles and service formats.

Backed by years of industry insight, extensive distribution, and a brand committed to innovation, Blue Wave is the secret weapon for kitchens seeking value and quality without complexity.

Blue Wave Favourites: Finger Foods that Work

Our seafood finger foods are a hit across the board. Here are a few standouts:

Tempura Prawns - Light and crisp with a golden batter, these prawns shine in both casual and premium settings. Perfect for bento boxes, seafood platters, or paired with spicy dipping sauces.

Panko-Crumbed Squid Rings - Crunchy, golden, and visually appealing, these are ideal as a pub staple or on gourmet grazing boards. Add them to share plates or serve alongside seasonal salads.

Tempura Fish Cocktails - Bite-sized, flaky, and satisfying – these are crowd-pleasers for families, school canteens, and function menus. Great with wedges, slaw, or inside a soft taco shell.

Each product is pre-prepared, quick to cook from frozen, and visually appealing on the plate. Portion control is built-in, making stock management simpler and reducing waste.

Menu Ideas to Make Them Shine

From casual eateries to premium catering, there are endless ways to incorporate Blue Wave’s finger foods. Here are just a few ideas:

Starters & Share Plates: Serve squid rings with garlic aioli or chilli jam. Plate tempura prawns on a skewer with soy glaze for a smart starter.

Seafood Sliders & Tacos: Layer fish cocktails or prawns in mini brioche sliders or corn tortillas with fresh slaw and spicy mayo.

Asian Bento Combos: Add tempura prawns or gyoza alongside rice, pickles and steamed greens.

Bar Bites: Blue Wave products pair perfectly with a tap beer or cocktail – think prawn cones, calamari, fish bites with lime wedges.

Salad Toppers: Upgrade a garden salad or soba noodle bowl with crispy fish cocktails or squid rings.

Kids' Menus: Mild, crumbed, and protein-rich, many items are ideal for younger diners – no bones, no fuss.

Function Catering: Serve finger foods in canape style with dipping sauces, or as part of large self-serve grazing platters.
