Dear Food Lover:

The winter holiday season means entertaining and celebrating, and seafood always seems to get people into a festive spirit. Shrimp cocktail and crab cakes, caviar and stuffed salmon-these foods and their supreme flavors signify celebration.

It's hard to find a more succulent meal than steamed lobster with butter and lemon. Read about our fresh live lobsters in my first article -they're a perfect choice for an elegant main course.

You've had King Crab legs, you've had Snow Crab legs, but what about Stone Crab legs? These surprisingly large, meaty claws are the pride of Florida. Read my second article to learn more about them.

Serve a different kind of appetizer for your holiday party-try oysters! We have several different kinds of oysters to choose from: raw Blue points, Chincoteague, and Malpeques (from Prince Edward Island). Read my third article to learn more about them.

Of course, we have several other items to choose from in Seafood which is, as always, flown in fresh. Stop by our department to get more ideas for your holiday entertaining.

Happy Eating!
George Hall
