Seafood Meals for Easter Weekend

Serving fish for Easter meals from Good Friday through Easter Sunday is a highly symbolic way to connect to identity with Jesus Christ. Fish and seafood meals for Easter weekend can be the perfect offset to a potential chocolate bunny overload. It’s a lovely time to serve seafood appetizers and brunch fare as well as irresistible main course cuisine. When you visit City Fish Market for the freshest seafood and an array of fish for your recipes, it will be smooth sailing to a tasty and memorable holiday.

Eat Fish on Good Friday

Christ was crucified on Good Friday, and eating fish on Fridays to honor his sacrifice has been practiced since the first century AD. The idea is to abstain from eating the meat of warm-blooded animals. In keeping with this tradition, Good Friday is the perfect time to carry on a tradition with a favorite fish recipe. A savory Salmon Pie with Roasted Peppers recipe may be the main dish that brings your family together in gratitude. If a halibut dish is preferred, try this recipe for Baked Halibut Georgiana, which is also from our City Fish Market website. 

For a more traditional style of eating fish in connection with Easter, prepare a whole fish with this Trout Amandine recipe. Of course, fried fish is a favorite for the entire Lenten season. Try this Fish Fry Batter recipe from Savory Experiments for what may turn out to be an extra special treat.

Seafood Brunch on Saturday

The great thing about an array of seafood meals for Easter weekend is that there is plenty of room for a lobster dish. This Lobster Salad should hit all the right notes for brunch, although you can substitute lobster with crabmeat or shrimp for equally awesome results. A Fresh Tuna Poke Bowl is a delicious option that fits more precisely with the fish theme of the holiday season.

An Easter Sunday Seafood Spread

For an unforgettable seafood meal on Easter Sunday, we recommend City Fish Bouillabaisse. The time it takes for prepping and cooking this dish will be well-spent. Pick up your choice of cod or another preferred white fish at City Fish Market as well as a pound of clams and/or mussels, cleaned. We have a corner on seafood freshness, and one visit to our retail counters is usually enough to convince discerning home chefs.

Easter Appetizers

If any of your meal plans have room to serve seafood appetizers, a Tsatsiki Shrimp Salad is a great spring starter. This Fresh Thai-style Squid Salad is likely to be a crowd pleaser, as well. But what could be better than Mini Upside-Down Lobster Pot Pies?
