Hi, Seafoodies!
March is National Nutrition Month, and this year’s theme “Food Connects Us” has us thinking about all the phenomenal ways seafood brings people together. From family fish fries to neighborhood potlucks, there’s something wonderful about sitting down to a spread of nourishing food with people we care about.
If you think about it, some of your favorite family memories probably involve food—maybe that specific recipe your grandmother used to make or how your dad always pulled out the grill on summer Sundays. These moments are more than just food—they are opportunities to spend time and create memories through meals.
Take the simple act of cooking seafood together. When you video-call your sibling to master your mom’s secret shrimp scampi or teach your teenager to steam their first batch of mussels, these kitchen moments create memories that transcend beyond the meal. Sharing your cultural seafood traditions—whether New England clambakes or Southern shrimp and grits—opens windows into heritage and identity, inviting others to understand better through the universal language of food.
Speaking of sharing, have you noticed how the healthiest coastal diets around the world have one thing in common? They’re all about sharing seafood! Mediterranean meals feature colorful platters of grilled fish and vegetables, while Japanese plates are piled high with fresh sashimi and seaweed. These seafood-friendly food cultures—also known for their longevity, by the way—show us that healthy eating is as much about nutrition as it is about connection.
In the same spirit, we’ve put together a collection of recipes that are made to be shared for this month’s meal plan. Try hosting a game night with friends serving our Mediterranean Tuna Pizza, starting a “Taco Tuesday” lunch club at work with these Baja-Style Street Fish Tacos or simply turning off phones to tuck into a Triple Seafood Boil with family. Every shared seafood meal is a chance to nurture both our bodies and the connections that matter most.
Remember, wholesome eating isn’t only about what’s on your plate—it’s about who’s around your table.
Breakfast
Everything Salmon & Egg Breakfast Hand Pies
We love hand pies because they’re portable, protein-filled and super easy to share!
Breakfast Pizza with Smoked Salmon
Fact: Adding seafood to pizza is the best thing since sliced bread—and after a bite of this pie, we think you’ll agree!
Cheesy Shrimp Breakfast Casserole
This casserole has 12 light and healthy servings, which makes it a great take-and-bake option for breakfast or brunch.
Lunch
Instant Pot Crab Mac ‘n’ Cheese
The Instant Pot turns an old favorite into a shareable meal, including the added benefit of extra protein from the crab.
Everyone knows the best tacos are all about contrasts, like spicy fish wrapped in a delicate corn tortilla with crunchy slaw and a creamy lime sauce—adjust the heat as you please!
Set this salad up buffet-style and let loved ones layer up their mason jars with all their favorite flavors.
Nothing says “I care” more than a home cooked meal—especially when you drop off a batch of this bisque!
Appetizer
No matter the occasion, you can’t go wrong with deviled eggs. They come together quickly and disappear even faster!
Excellent as a dip, but equally as outstanding when schmeared on toasted bagels or gourmet sandwiches. The more you know!
Air Fryer Calamari with Chipotle Dipping Sauce
Taking only 10 minutes to cook and less than 25 minutes to prep—keep this recipe on hand for those last-minute gathering invites!
Dinner
Sheet Pan Cod & Vegetables with Smashed Tomatoes & Feta
Make fun kitchen memories by letting your little one help with smashing the tomatoes into a light and savory sauce.
Made from pantry staples and premade dough, enjoy as a savory supper or try slicing into squares to serve as a stress-free appetizer!
As far as recipes go, a boil is incredibly simple. Add seafood and veggies to a pot of heady broth, then let ‘er steam!
What is comforting, speedy to make and delicious? If you said “Every bowl of this creamy risotto,” you’re right!
