Holiday Party Seafood Ideas for Connecticut Hosts

Raw bars, chowder shooters and elegant bites that make a holiday party feel special without a complicated menu.

Holiday parties compete with a crowded calendar, so the food has to do some work. Seafood feels celebratory, looks beautiful and gives guests something to talk about.

Five ideas that work

  1. A staffed raw bar. Oysters, clams and shrimp on ice make an instant centerpiece for an office or club. See our corporate and holiday party options.
  2. Caviar bumps. A tiny, luxurious bite on a kettle chip with creme fraiche and chive.
  3. Warm chowder shooters. Cozy, easy to hold and perfect for cold nights.
  4. Mini lobster rolls. Familiar flavors in party-friendly size.
  5. Seared scallops on parsnip puree. Elegant passed bites for a seated or standing reception.

Plan it right

  • Book early. December dates go quickly.
  • Offer something warm alongside anything raw.
  • Include a non-shellfish option so every guest is cared for.
  • Confirm your venue’s loading, insurance and access requirements in advance.

Looking for a seasonal offer?

Our Holiday Raw Bar offer includes a complimentary caviar bump course for the first 25 guests when you book by the deadline.

Consuming raw or undercooked shellfish may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
