HOUSTON, Feb. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of an
exclusive partnership formed with H-E-B late last year, Luby's is
bringing one of its most iconic dishes off of the line and into
approximately 270 store locations around Texas. This week, the landmark cafeteria group
will introduce a family-size helping of its famous Fried Fish to
freezer aisles across the state.
"We're excited to expand our offerings from Texas heritage brand," said Scott McClelland, President H-E-B Houston
Division. "Luby's Fried Fish is joining Luby's Mac & Cheese
exclusively at H-E-B allowing customers to bring these beloved
dishes from the freezer aisle to the kitchen table."
A fan favorite at Luby's, the Fried Fish features a delicate,
moist center and perfectly crispy crust. Priced at $7.95, each container includes two filets that
provide four LuAnn-sized servings. The Fried Fish dish joins Luby's
Classic and Jalapeno Mac & Cheese offerings, which debuted at
H-E-B in November.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "Whether you know it as fried or
square fish, this piece of Texas
culinary history is easily one of the most recognizable and most
ordered dishes in the state. We're proud to have H-E-B as a
partner, making it an anytime meal for its legions of fans."
