Shuck Your Own Oysters
Whether you’re hosting a romantic New Year’s Eve for two or gathering family for the countdown, we offer fresh oysters in our Seafood Dept. with various flavour profiles. We have an oyster for every palate, from sweet and salty to delicately citrusy. Not sure where to start? Check out our oyster shucking 101 tutorial to guide you through the process. Serve with a mango hot sauce to spice things up and enjoy the fireworks.
Quick and Easy Scallops
Fabulous doesn’t have to mean difficult or time-consuming. Take our Chorizo & Scallop Bites with Lemon-Wasabi Yogurt, for example. Ready in 15 minutes, they’re easy, elegant, and full of flavour. Just sear, plate, and serve.
Easy Shrimp Appetizers
Grab a bag of our Compliments Naturally Simple Black Tiger Shrimp for an easy app that’s sure to please. Sustainably sourced, with no additives or preservatives, these marinated Paprika Shrimp are simple to whip up and get a flavourful boost from the recipe’s namesake spice. Or choose the no-fuss option and thaw a fully cooked Compliments Naturally Simple Black Tiger Shrimp Ring that comes with its own cocktail sauce for easy entertaining.
