America’s No. 1 frozen shrimp brand within the specialty seafood category partnered with child nutrition expert Diana Rice and influencers nationwide to celebrate mealtime wins on April 4.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — After sparking a nationwide conversation around picky eating and mealtime wins, SeaPak is building on the momentum of National Picky Eaters Day, returning April 4, with new expert guidance, influencer partnerships, and continued support for families navigating one of parenting’s most universal challenges.
Created by SeaPak in 2025, National Picky Eaters Day celebrates progress, not perfection, at the table. The holiday resonated with parents across the country, inspiring families to share their own victories and helping to position seafood as fun, familiar, and family-friendly.
This year, SeaPak is expanding its efforts through a collaboration with Registered Dietitian Diana Rice and a national influencer campaign. This approach ties into last year’s debut of the Otterfords — the lovable family of sea otter puppets who know what it’s like to have a picky eater at the table — as SeaPak continues to drive inspiration at mealtimes.
“We were thrilled to see how families embraced National Picky Eaters Day and shared their own stories of mealtime wins,” said Ciera Womack, Vice President of Product Marketing for Rich Products Corp., parent company of SeaPak. “SeaPak is proud to help families feel more confident introducing seafood in ways that are delicious and stress-free.”
Frozen seafood plays a key role in making seafood more accessible for busy families. SeaPak products offer familiar flavors, crispy textures, and quick preparations, removing many of the barriers that can make seafood seem intimidating.
According to Rice, the founder of Tiny Seed Family Nutrition, small shifts in how seafood is introduced can make a meaningful difference.
“Offering dipping sauces, keeping portions small, and presenting seafood in fun, no-fuss ways can help kids feel more comfortable trying something new,” she said. “Most importantly, when parents stay relaxed, kids are more likely to come around in their own time.”
SeaPak’s social media partners are sharing relatable, real-life moments of turning hesitation into curiosity through rituals like “Friday shrimp night,” fun dipping sauce bars, and involving kids in meal preparation.
Families can participate in National Picky Eaters Day by celebrating their mealtime wins and sharing stories and tips on social media using #PickyEatersDay and tagging @seapakshrimpco.
