From breakfast casseroles to turkey dinners, food is a big part of Christmas celebrations. While the food is delicious, it can sometimes feel like you’re eating the same food every year. This year, why not switch things up with some seafood dishes – they’re a great way to bring new flavors to the table!
Even better, try making your Christmas meals using ingredients from sustainable seafood brands, such as Tommy’s Seafood. You can feel extra good about your meals knowing they include seafood that’s been sourced in a way that won’t deplete the supply for future consumers. Here are some Christmas seafood recipes to help you get started.

Who doesn’t like a nice, warm dish as part of your Christmas meals? When it’s time for dinner, this classic shrimp scampi recipe is a great way to bring a seafood dish to the table.
