“We specifically designed our seafood platters and kits to be interactive, fun, and easy to put together,” explains Jenice Yu, owner of Fresh Ideas Start Here. “With Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, and Family Day all on the same weekend, they work well for so many occasions and can be enjoyed in the comforts of your own home or gifted to your friends, family, loved ones, and gal pals.”
The FISH Valentine’s Day Platters (small $45; medium $75; large $95) come with seaweed salad, wild salmon spread, lemon, crackers, and pickled vegetables accompaniments. Customers can select from a variety of fresh seafood, including cooked Dungeness crab, cooked lobster tail, sashimi (sockeye, albacore tuna, ahi tuna, scallops), shrimp cocktail, octopus salad, squid salad, marinated clams and mussels, and salmon roulade.
The luxe Caviar Kit ($115) serves two to four people and features one tin of Ocean Wise Acadian Sturgeon caviar from News Brunswick, chive crème fraîche, diced egg white, diced egg yolk, crackers, and fresh dill.
