Quality Seafood Selection
The foundation of a spectacular seafood feast lies in the quality of the ingredients. At Hooked Fish Shop, we take pride in offering the finest selection of seafood, sourced sustainably and delivered fresh to your table. Whether you’re craving succulent prawns, delicate scallop tortellaci, or rich salmon rolls, our commitment to quality ensures that every dish shines.
Creative Seafood Platters
Transform your table into a masterpiece with creative seafood platters that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Start with a base of chilled oysters on the half shell, complemented by a vibrant shrimp cocktail. Add layers of complexity with smoked salmon roses and elegant ceviche served in martini glasses. Don’t forget to garnish with fresh herbs and citrus wedges for that perfect finishing touch.
Ideas for Creative Platters:
- Mediterranean Delight: A platter featuring grilled octopus, marinated mussels, and a selection of olives and artichokes.
- Asian Fusion: Sushi rolls, sashimi slices, and crispy tempura prawns paired with wasabi and soy sauce.
- Surf and Turf: Combine seafood favourites like lobster tails and crab cakes with grilled steak bites for a luxurious feast.
Wine and Seafood Pairing
Enhance the flavours of your seafood creations with the perfect wine pairings. For delicate white fish dishes, opt for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Grigio. Rich seafood pasta calls for a buttery Chardonnay, while grilled seafood pairs beautifully with a fruity Rosé. Don’t forget the classic pairing of Champagne with oysters for a touch of luxury.
