Smaller Companies Take Spotlight at Winter Fancy Food 2022
By A.J. Flick, Senior Editor
The Specialty Food Association‘s Winter Fancy Food 2022 show ended with a big focus on smaller and newer companies, many of which launched during the pandemic.
At a fraction of the previous exhibitors and hours shorted to six hours for the first two days and four hours for the last day, even with COVID precautions, many of the larger exhibitors chose to sit the winter show out.
That left a lot of room for smaller companies and first-time exhibitors to catch some attention at Winter Fancy Food 2022.
Lisa Scali, principal and head of sales and marketing with Maine’s Ocean’s Balance, said she came to the show with no expectations and was “pleasantly surprised” with the traffic her booth received. Ocean’s Balance makes award-winning sauces and spices made with regenerative farmed seaweed.
Runar Omarsson brought his innovative Nordical Fish & Chips from Iceland to Las Vegas and while dried fish on a potato chip might not be something Americans would gravitate to, found a lot of interest in his high protein, keto-friendly bags (and the product is delicious).

You might not think of tamales when you think of tamales, much less the idea of a tamal made with turkey meat, but there was Tony’s Tamales in the Mississippi section and these babies are good!
Chef Dan “Fish” Fisher brought his elegantly bottled It Sauce, a variety of flavors all made with criolla peppers (no calories, sugars or preservatives). Delicious.

Dates for the Summer Fancy Food Show were announced right before the winter show. Many exhibitors were unsure whether they’d be at the New York show.
