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
- 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.
- Caviar bumps. A tiny, luxurious bite on a kettle chip with creme fraiche and chive.
- Warm chowder shooters. Cozy, easy to hold and perfect for cold nights.
- Mini lobster rolls. Familiar flavors in party-friendly size.
- 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.
