Holland America Line has unveiled the Fresh Fish Program, featuring 80 types of fish from 60 worldwide ports, which will be served in onboard dining venues and the new Morimoto at Sea pop-up restaurant debuting in 2024.

Chef Masaharu Morimoto will serve as the program’s Fresh Fish Ambassador, which puts the spotlight on local ingredients and destination-focused menus.

“I chose to partner with Holland America Line because we share a commitment and passion for fresh and regionally inspired foods, and you will see that come to life in the special dishes and pop-up experience we’ve created together,” Chef Morimoto said in a statement.

“We know fresh fish is part of our guests’ daily lifestyle, and when they come on board, we are excited to expand their options beyond what they have access to at home,” added Holland America Line President Gus Antorcha.

“The ability to source and prepare so many types of fish globally is a testament to our outstanding culinary team. From yellowtail snapper in the Caribbean to barramundi in Australia, the variety of fresh fish we offer is unrivaled in the cruise industry.”

The program will also expand on Holland America’s Savor My Catch excursion, which enables guests to catch fish that are then prepared by onboard chefs.
