Christmas Seafood Buffet Box

iCurrently out of stock - please check back soon.

A glorious collection of truly special seafood for a Christmas spread that is almost effortless. Pile on platters, wooden boards and pretty dishes for a beautiful table that sings of Christmas celebration. All you’ll need is a few bottles of something refreshing and the day will look after itself. You’ll need to supply your own crackers, capers and cornichons. Superior nibbles to accompany drinks for up to 6 people.

Each Box Contains:

200g pack Superior Smoked Salmon (Fresh)
1kg pack Plump Peeled Atlantic Prawns (Frozen)
2 x Oysters Rockerfeller Kit (2 x 1/2 Dozen (LIVE) Oysters with accompanying Rockerfeller Sauce and Persilade Crumb)
1 x 150g Pot Smoked Mackerel Pate (Fresh)
1 x 150g Pot Smoked Trout Pate (Fresh)
1 x 150g Smoked Salmon Pate (Fresh)
1 x 120g Jar of Avruga Caviar

One of the joys of this box is that, other than arranging your spread in a manner pleasing to the eye, there is very little preparation leaving you free to enjoy the party. Preparing the Oysters Rockerfeller is reassuringly simple:

Preheat oven to 180C / Gas mark 4.
Open the oysters and remove from the shell.
Place a teaspoon of Rockefeller sauce in each shell and then put the oyster back in the shell.
Place some more sauce on the oyster and top with the Persilade crumb.
Put the oysters onto a baking tray in the centre of the oven for 10-12 mins. Serve piping hot.

Tip: To keep the oysters steady on the tray, try placing them on top of a bed of salt, or a slice of bread or maybe a metal cookie cutter, if you have some!

Allergens present in the buffet box: FISH, SHELLFISH, CRUSTACEA, MOLLUSC, MILK, SULPHITES, MUSTARD, CELERY, GLUTEN.

Your fish is far better than any locally sourced

We have been ordering our fish from you for many years: firstly when we lived in Hampshire then when we moved to Scotland and then when we moved to Somerset. You have consistently supplied excellent fish that has been far better than any locally sourced.

Clams

We have just finished a plate on Tagliatelle Vongole with your clams. One didn’t open, one cracked, the rest of the kilo were sweet, tender and tasty. We will be back for more. Brilliant sourcing.

The freshest we have had for absolutely ages

We had salmon, hake and haddock which arrived speedily at the time you promised. The container was excellent and although I was nervous of getting fish online, I have to say it is the best thing we have done. We love fish and it is probably the freshest we have had for absolutely ages and is a pleasure to eat.

How much weight do Live Lobsters lose when cooked?

The Lobster weight listed on our shop are 'live' weight. All Lobsters lose a small amount of weight once cooked. The general guideline would be:
10-15% loss for a Cooked Lobster
15-20% loss for a Cooked, Split and Cleaned Lobster

What to expect when you purchase a Lobster

Delicious White Meat - this can be found in the tail and claws of the Lobster
Tomalley - this is the soft green, red or black substance which is found in the body cavity of Lobsters that fulfills the function of both the liver and pancreas.
It is perfectly safe to eat and is often considered a delicacy. It may be eaten alone or used in sauces for flavour and as a natural thickening agent.

How soon can you deliver?

Normally this is within 48 hours (taking into account that we deliver Tuesday to Saturday). This allows us time to source, prepare, dispatch and deliver your order to you.

For example, if you place an order Monday, we can deliver Wednesday. Place an order on Friday, we can deliver on Tuesday.

However, please note that during busy periods this may be a longer leadtime.

What to expect when you order a Live Lobster

When you receive your lobster, remove it from the protective packaging that it has travelled in. Place the lobster on a tray, cover it with a damp cloth or tea-towel and put the tray into the refrigerator until you are ready to cook it. At 4oC, or below, a lobster will drift into a hibernative state. We would recommend cooking your lobsters within 24hrs of receipt

What to expect when you order a cooked Lobster

White Meat can be found in the tail and claws of the Lobster. In some female lobsters you may find Tomalley - this is the soft, dark green or red substance which is found in the body cavity of Lobsters, that fulfils the function of both the liver and pancreas. It is perfectly safe to eat and is often considered a delicacy. It may be eaten alone or used in sauces for flavour and as a natural thickening agent.

What to expect when you buy Live Mussels

Our mussels arrive with you live. To store them, leave them in the net that they arrive in. Twist the net so that any slack is taken up and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or tea-towel and place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare them. We would recommend using the mussels within 24-36hrs of receipt. NOT suitable for home freezing unless you cook them first

What to expect when you purchase Oysters

To store your oysters once they arrive, remove them from all packaging and place them on a tray, or plate. Make sure you place them cupped-side down, with the ‘flat’ side uppermost. Cover them with a damp cloth or tea-towel and place them in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them. We would recommend eating the oysters within 24-36hrs of receipt. NOT suitable for home freezing unless you cook them first

What to expect when you purchase Crab Meat

We only sell fresh hand-picked Cornish crab meat and whilst the pickers are experts, they are not infallible. Please be aware that occasionally a small piece of shell may get left in the pot with the meat.

Can I amend or add to my existing order?

Please call one of the Team on 01208 262202 and we will assist you with this.

Will Fresh Fish Always Be Available?

Rest assured that we will make every effort to source fresh product for your order, however, if we are unable to do so for any reason, we will replace it with a frozen alternative.

The availability of all seafood at market can be impacted by many different factors – Seasonality, bad weather, tidal variations, which boats are landing, or even good old-fashioned fisherman’s luck… and in the current circumstances, unprecedented demand has further added to uncertainty.When fish happen to be plentiful at market, we try to buy a little extra which we expertly prepare and blast freeze, here on site, for just such an eventuality. The replacement should arrive with you frozen. Do not re-freeze seafood that has defrosted.

Unlike many of our competitors, we will NEVER send you frozen, or previously-frozen, lobsters. ALL our lobsters are cooked fresh to order on the premises. This allows for them to be frozen on receipt, should you wish to consume them at a later date
