Charcuterie boards decked with rich cheeses, savoury meats, and succulent fruits have long been a favourite among dinner party guests, but a new trend in charcuterie is redefining the plate — seafood. Brimming with a spread perfect for seafood lovers, this awe-inspiring platter makes an exceptional centrepiece at cocktail parties and get-togethers.
“Seacuterie is one of this year’s hottest trend in entertaining,” says Kathlyne Ross, vice-president, product development, President’s Choice. “The fresh, citrus flavours of the tuna tataki and the bold smoky notes of the maple and rye cold-smoked salmon provide the perfect contrast on this stunning platter.”
