Treat Mom Like Royalty: A Mother's Day Seafood Feast

Celebrate the extraordinary women in your customers' lives this Mother's Day with an exquisite seafood selection from JJ McDonnell. Elevate your brunch and dinner menus with premium offerings that speak to sophistication and indulgence. Consider featuring our Venezuelan Jumbo Lump Crab Meat (JL9999), prized for its delicate sweetness and impressive, whole pieces. Imagine crafting elegant crab cakes with minimal filler, topping creamy asparagus tarts, or creating a luxurious chilled seafood salad that embodies springtime freshness. This high-quality crab will not only impress diners but also streamline kitchen prep with its pristine presentation.

For a lighter yet equally elegant option, our Flounder Fillet, Skin Off (FLO210) offers versatility and a mild, flaky texture that appeals to a wide range of palates. Its delicate nature makes it perfect for pan-searing with a lemon-butter sauce, encrusting with herbs and breadcrumbs for a crispy finish, or even poaching gently and serving with a vibrant spring vegetable risotto. Flounder's adaptability allows you showcase your creativity and create dishes that are both refined and approachable, making it a fantastic choice for a special occasion like Mother's Day.

To truly elevate the dining experience, consider featuring the luxurious Hackleback Sturgeon Caviar (CAVH07). This domestic caviar offers a sophisticated touch, perfect for garnishing elegant appetizers, enhancing seafood towers, or adding a touch of opulence to brunch dishes like smoked salmon and crème fraîche blinis. Even a small dollop can transform a dish into a memorable indulgence, signaling to your customers that Mother's Day at your establishment is an affair to remember.

Finally, our succulent 7/8oz Lobster Tails (LOB478) are a classic symbol of celebration and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These perfectly sized tails offer a balance of impressive presentation and manageable portioning. Imagine grilling them to perfection and serving with drawn butter and seasonal sides, incorporating them into a decadent surf and turf special, or creating a rich lobster bisque that exudes comfort and luxury. By featuring these premium seafood options, you're not just offering a meal; you're providing an opportunity for families to celebrate and create cherished memories on this special day.
