Celebrate Deliciously

However you plan to celebrate the new year, we got some tasty recipes for your celebrations. 

A sea-cuterie board with smoked fish, trout roe, and tinned fish.

New Year's is upon us, and as we gather with our loved ones to bid farewell to an old year and welcome a new one, our traditions vary. But there is one thing that every small or grand celebration has in common: good food.  

Whether you're making it an early night, watching the ball drop, or starting 2025 with a bang, we've got a few ideas to help you cook up a party-worthy spread—with sustainably harvested seafood as the star. 

Cooked shrimp, smoked fish, oysters, and tinned fish arranged on a bed of ice.

Move over charcuterie—sea-cuterie boards are making waves! This spin on the classic cheese plate is all about showcasing a delicious array of seafood. Load your board with smoked and tinned fish, shrimp, oysters, and more, paired with vibrant accompaniments like capers, cucumbers, lemons, olives, and fruit. 

Find it all at New Seasons! We have a wide selection of sustainable seafood and endless gourmet goodies to craft a stunning board. Perfect as an appetizer or a full meal, sea-cuterie is a New Year’s Eve hit—especially when paired with a glass of bubbly. 

A sheet pan filled with breaded and baked cod fillets with a side of French fries.

If you're entertaining little ones or just want to make it an early evening, celebrate East Coast time with an always crowd-pleasing and delicious sheet pan fish & chips.  

It's an easy one-pan meal, so cleanup is a cinch. All you need are some cod filets, panko breadcrumbs, a bag of your family's favorite frozen French fries, and a few other ingredients, and you've got a party favorite. 

Serve it with ketchup or tartar sauce and maybe a glass of Martinelli's sparkling apple cider if you're planning a celebratory toast. 

A shrimp cocktail appetizer with ready-to-eat shrimp lining a glass filled with cocktail sauce.

Throwing a late-night party? Get the festivities off to a delicious start with a classic shrimp cocktail.  

It’s easy, doesn’t require much prep, and it’s New Year’s Eve fancy. Not to mention, it pairs beautifully with a glass of bubbly.  

Make yours from scratch, grab a freshly arranged shrimp cocktail party platter from your neighborhood New Seasons, or go halfsies and prepare the shrimp, but buy the cocktail sauce.

A plate topped with crab eggs Benedict slathered in Hollandaise sauce and a glass filled with mimosa on the side.

Start 2025 decadently with crab eggs Benedict.   

Just like a classic Bennie, it’s topped with buttery, lemony Hollandaise sauce, but instead of the ham, you're swapping in crab meat. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds.  

You can use cooked, shelled crab meat or get extra indulgent and top your English muffin with a crab cake. Pair that with a mimosa using some of last night’s leftover champagne, and you’ve got yourself a tasty introduction to the new year.
