A Fun Twist: SeaCuterie Boards 

This just in: it’s all about the sea-cuterie board now. If you’re bored with spreads that are heavy on the deli cuts and light on the flavor, you’re in the right place.

Making seafood the star of the show doesn’t mean that you can’t throw in more traditional cuts of meat, cheese and plenty of veggies. It’s your flavor ship: steer it the way you want.

Here are a few ideas to help:

  • Crab: Imitation crab strips are perfect finger food, but you can also pair lump crab meat with sour cream and seasonings for a dip that’s a true crowd pleaser.
  • Shrimp: Cut cooked, peeled, and de-veined shrimp in half and thread them on toothpicks with veggies for a playful and quick treat for the whole table.
  • Salmon: Rub down a whole filet of salmon with melted butter, garlic, pepper, smoked paprika and lemon, then pop into the oven. Cut the meat up into cubes and pierce with toothpicks.
