Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to spoil Mum with a heartfelt gesture, and what better way to do it than with a beautiful seafood feast? Whether you’re planning breakfast in bed, a long lunch, or a sunset dinner, seafood offers the perfect combination of elegance, freshness, and indulgence. Here are some creative seafood ideas to make Mother’s Day truly unforgettable.
Swap out the traditional charcuterie board for a luxe seafood grazing platter. Think chilled prawns, smoked salmon, freshly shucked oysters, crab legs, and marinated mussels. Add slices of sourdough, whipped lemon butter, dill crème fraîche, and fresh fruit for colour and balance. It’s a light, no-fuss brunch Mum will adore.
Turn your kitchen into a fine dining experience by preparing a creamy lobster pasta. Use fresh lobster tails or cooked meat and toss it with linguine, garlic, white wine, cherry tomatoes, and a touch of chilli. Pair it with a crisp white wine, and you’ve got a restaurant-worthy dish at home.
If Mum loves breakfast in bed, give it a seafood twist with smoked salmon eggs benedict or crab and avocado toast. Serve with a mimosa or her favourite herbal tea, and top it off with fresh flowers on the tray.
Host a relaxed backyard BBQ with vibrant seafood skewers. Mix and match prawns, scallops, squid, and chunks of fish with colourful veggies like capsicum, zucchini, and red onion. Marinate with garlic, lemon, and herbs, then grill until golden. Serve with fresh salads and crusty bread.
Bring everyone together with a grand seafood platter designed to be shared. Load it up with freshly cooked tiger prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, mussels, oysters, marinated octopus, and a side of grilled fish or calamari. Serve with dipping sauces, lemon wedges, and a refreshing salad. It’s the perfect centrepiece for a joyful family lunch or dinner that celebrates Mum in the most delicious way.
If the weather’s fine, pack a luxe picnic hamper featuring fresh oysters, a bottle of sparkling wine, and simple accompaniments like cucumber mignonette, lemon wedges, and sea salt crisps. It’s the perfect way to celebrate outdoors.
Want to skip the prep? Surprise Mum with a curated seafood box delivered straight to her door. From sashimi-grade delicacies to ready-to-cook shellfish and gourmet sauces, it’s a thoughtful gift for the Mum who loves to cook—or simply loves great seafood.
No celebration is complete without dessert. Finish the seafood feast with a light, zesty lemon and berry pavlova. The freshness of the fruit balances the richness of your seafood dishes and adds a sweet final touch to a perfect day.
Whether you’re cooking at home or planning a special delivery, the most important ingredient is love. Set the table with care, write a handwritten note, and let Mum put her feet up. With delicious seafood and a little creativity, you’ll create a Mother’s Day she’ll always remember.
