The holidays are all about family, friends, and food and there’s no better way to make your celebration stand out than by adding fresh seafood to the table. Whether you’re hosting a cozy dinner, a lively party, or just bringing a dish to share, seafood brings elegance, flavor, and a touch of coastal charm to any holiday gathering.

With City Seafood, you can easily build a custom seafood bundle online and get the freshest shrimp, crab, lobster, and more all delivered right to your door.

1. Make Seafood the Main Course

Who says turkey or ham has to be the centerpiece? This year, impress your guests with a main dish that’s both festive and flavorful.

• Crab & Shrimp Boil: A fun, family-style meal that brings everyone together. Combine snow crab legs, jumbo shrimp, potatoes, and corn, and drizzle with garlic butter and Old Bay seasoning.
• Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter: Serve these rich, tender tails alongside mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus for a luxurious twist on the traditional holiday dinner.
• Seafood Pasta Bake: Mix shrimp, scallops, and crab in a creamy Alfredo sauce with pasta and bake until golden and bubbly.

Tip: With our new one-page menu, you can mix and match your favorites in just a few clicks no more opening multiple product pages!

2. Add a Coastal Twist to Your Appetizers

Kick off your holiday meal with seafood starters that are simple to make and packed with flavor.

• Shrimp Cocktail Shooters: Serve jumbo shrimp in small glasses with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges elegant and easy.
• Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms: A warm, cheesy appetizer that disappears fast.
• Oysters Rockefeller: Baked oysters topped with spinach, butter, and breadcrumbs for a rich and savory bite.

Tip: Arrange your appetizers on a rustic wooden board with lemon slices and herbs for a beautiful holiday display.
