Holidays SeaFood
For us, holiday traditions entail counting down the days until we can gorge ourselves on the exquisite meals that no Christmas-New Year's season would be complete without. We've shifted our focus from just customs to holiday seafood traditions.
The traditional all-American Christmas dinner consists of meaty main courses such as turkey, ham, and roast beef, but including popular seafood dishes into the festivities can make for a more nutritious, colorful, and interesting meal. There are a plethora of ways to incorporate seafood into your holiday menu, whether you're inspired by the Italian-style Feast of the Seven Fishes or simply by the infinite delectable holiday seafood recipes.
Because fish cooks quickly, including holiday seafood recipes on your menu plan might help you save oven space or offer you extra time with your family. Centerpiece-worthy Alaskan king crab legs, large fillets of halibut that can anchor a meal, and creamy salmon sides are all popular seafood dishes for Christmas meals. Holiday seafood recipes for smaller items like giant scallops or halibut cheeks, which both make for exquisite starts to big dinners, can be the start of your dinner menu. Whether as carpaccio under a mound of arugula or sesame-crusted and sliced on top, gorgeous, gem-colored tuna brightens up any salad.
