" while holding up a shrimp? You don’t have to cater to every single preference, but it’s smart to have a little mental checklist. What Seafood Works for Brunch? Mini crab cakes - Trust me. People grab one, then another. Then pretend they didn’t. Serve with lemon aioli or remoulade and thank me later. Smoked salmon spread - Not just the fish. Go full spread: bagels, cream cheese, capers, onions, dill. Looks fancy, takes almost zero effort. Shrimp cocktail - Yeah, it’s a throwback. But people still love it. Chill them well and don’t skimp on the cocktail sauce. Seafood quiche - A buttery slice of quiche with crab or shrimp baked in? Yes please. Plus, it’s make-ahead. Mini lobster rolls - Toss lobster (or shrimp, if you’re saving cash) in lemony mayo and stuff it in little brioche buns. And hey, if you do want to go wild and serve oysters, just make sure they’re fresh and you’ve either practiced shucking-or you’ve got someone who has.
