The Ultimate Seafood Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving might look a little different this year, and while the gatherings might be smaller, we still want the holidays to be a celebration of gratitude and great food. This year, we're focusing on being grateful for the delicious seafood and the fishing communities that bring it to our tables.
More and more Americans are ditching the turkey and looking to the sea for the holidays, so we've put together our ultimate seafood Thanksgiving menu. With so much variety across fish and shellfish and specialty seafood, you can offer a menu brimming with seafood dishes including holiday classics like fried calamari and smoked salmon spread, to our brand new clam dip recipe. And what could be more impressive than our whole roasted fish recipes, from fresh branzino to striped bass. Whatever you choose, there's never been a better time to have a seafood Thanksgiving. Cheers to good health, good friends and great seafood!
