Serving Suggestions for Your Christmas Feast
Each of our Christmas boxes pairs beautifully with holiday sides. For a well-rounded meal, try serving your seafood with freshly baked bread, fine cheeses, and artisanal crackers. Smoked salmon and crab meat are also delightful with a light, lemony salad or as part of a vibrant charcuterie board. For an extra festive touch, garnish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, and a drizzle of olive oil or capers.
Ordering and Delivery Information
Our Christmas products will be available for ordering starting Friday, 15th November. To ensure availability, we recommend placing your order early, as delivery slots fill quickly. Here’s what you need to know:
- Ordering begins: Friday, 15th November
- Last order date: Wednesday, 18th December (or until slots are filled)
- Final delivery day: Saturday, 21st December
We recommend selecting the “by 1pm” delivery option to help ensure a prompt arrival, although we have over a 99% success rate with deliveries. However, the holiday period is exceptionally busy, and deliveries may experience slight delays, so we advise scheduling your delivery at least a day or two ahead to ensure everything arrives in time for your festive celebrations.
Freezing and Defrosting Tips for Christmas Day
All our seafood products are suitable for freezing, making it easy to plan ahead. To keep your seafood fresh, simply place items in the freezer the day they arrive, and take them out 24 hours before use, allowing them to slowly defrost in the fridge. Rest assured, our smoked fish, if delivered on 21st December, will stay fresh in the fridge through to at least Christmas Day, ensuring a stress-free and delicious meal.
Sustainably Sourced and Handcrafted
At Hamilton’s Fish, quality is our top priority. All our smoked fish is produced in-house by our master smoker, ensuring every piece meets our high standards. Our crab meat is carefully handpicked by our skilled team, and our pâtés are made fresh in-house, bringing artisanal craftsmanship directly to your table. We’re proud to source our seafood responsibly, from Loch Duart salmon to sustainably line-caught mackerel and pot-caught crab, so you can enjoy every bite with confidence.
Why Choose Seafood This Christmas?
Seafood offers a refreshing change from traditional Christmas fare, and with fresh, top-quality options from Hamilton’s Fish, it’s a perfect choice for Christmas Day and beyond. When seafood is as fresh as ours, freezing for a few days won’t impact its quality, making it an ideal option to enjoy anytime over the festive period—even after the traditional turkey.
