Turkey and ham can become humdrum during the holiday season. This year, why not go in a different direction for your holiday meal - try seafood! Gourmet seafood - including such tasty treats as fresh tuna steaks, smoked fish, halibut cheeks and lobster - have taken their place among the most sought-after luxury foods available. If you're planning a feast for the upcoming holiday season, you can order seafood online from coastal fish markets to make sure that you get the freshest, highest quality fish and shellfish available anywhere. And it's incredibly easy to do - you just scan the available items, make your selection, then click a button to place your order.
Seafood Holiday Meal Suggestions
Lobster and Alaskan king crab are among the showiest dinner entrees for the holidays. Imagine the ooh's and ahh's at the table when your guests are served a plate bearing a sumptuous broiled lobster stuffed with a melange of seafood or a Dungeness crab shell stuffed with a dressing of crab and mushrooms. It's a holiday dinner that everyone will remember for years.
Shrimp and prawns are a traditional starter for holiday meals, so why not start your meals with the sweetest, freshest, meatiest jumbo shrimp you can find? Skip the traditional shrimp cocktail, though, and surprise your dinner guests with a plate of tangy-sweet grilled jumbo prawns with honey-lime barbecue sauce. Check online wherever you can order seafood to find Mexican prawns for a real taste treat.
If you traditionally pass hors d'oeuvres before dinner, dial the gourmet factor up with a selection of smoked seafood, including salmon, smoked tuna and other smoked fish. Serve water crackers spread with smoked salmon, canapes topped with smoked yellowfin tuna, smoked fish dips with a variety of crackers - choose one or offer a selection of many.
Start the New Year off right with a traditional sushi feast. Most fish markets that sell seafood also supply everything you'll need to roll your own sushi, including a sushi kit to help you do it for the very first time. In many cases, you can place your orders for fresh tuna, ahi and other fresh seafood for sushi in advance and have it delivered on the day you choose.
Try something new. Quickly becoming one of the most popular West Coast fish, sablefish - also known as butterfish and black cod - is a sumptuously rich, smooth-tasting fish that lends itself to any cooking method, but is especially delicious as sashimi. Delicate and sweet, sablefish also provides a bounty of health omega-3 fatty acids for your heart.
Paella is a traditional Spanish feast dish, and it deserves a place in your holiday menus. It has an undeserved reputation for being difficult to prepare. The truth is that it requires a little babysitting to ensure that each seafood is added at the right time so that all of it cooks perfectly, but other than that, it's quite simple to cook. You can order all your shellfish and seafood online, or pick and choose a few star ingredients from an online market and buy the rest at your grocer's or local fish market.
Give the turkey a reprieve this year. Instead of serving Tom again, buy smoked fish and fresh seafood and treat your family and guests to something completely different.
