Happy National Seafood Month seafoodies! Let’s kick off the annual October seafood celebration with eight cravable seafood recipes that are perfect for family meal times.
The October Meal Plan includes seafood recipes perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner – and snacktime! Start your morning with our original smoky salmon hash in a skillet; or sweet lobster and creamy avocado atop crunchy toast. When midday hungries kick in, we’ve got healthy and satisfying cures: crab salad and tuna wraps. Oysters Rockefeller and spiced cod sliders make perfect apps. And for the main dinner event, you’ll love the flavorful fish soup we’re featuring and our lemon-herb tuna steak and potatoes.
And because we’re sharing our top seafood recipes, we thought it’s the perfect time to also share our favorite ways to celebrate National Seafood Month!
5 Ways to Celebrate National Seafood Month
- Pick up a seafood cookbook: We recommend Chef Barton’s Seaver’s new “The Joy of Seafood,” an all-purpose seafood cookbook with more than 900 seafood recipes featuring a variety of species and techniques
- Order seafood at a restaurant: For those nights when you don’t feel like cooking, venture out into the neighborhood and find a local seafood restaurant or seafood dish somewhere to try. This is also a great opportunity to try a new type of seafood that you normally wouldn’t feel comfortable preparing at home – yet. For dining-out inspiration, check out our Instagram account, where we share seafood dishes from amazing eateries across the country.
- Meet your Fishmonger: Head over to your local fish market or grocery store and talk to the expert behind the counter about all things seafood. They’ve got a wealth of knowledge!
- Host a Seafood Dinner: Gather your Dinner Club, your Inlaws or your Besties and host a seafood brunch or dinner using recipes found on our blog.
