We love to go shopping around NY looking for yummy treats for Christmas gifts. But sometimes, especially for friends and family out-of-town, the web is the place to shop. Here are two of our favorites, both offering mouth-watering seafood with personal service--important because the coordination of such perishable gifts at times is best served with human interaction.
At least once or twice a year for the past five years or so, we’ve ordered the fresh, ready-to-cook Maryland-style crab cakes (but they come from Delaware) from Crab Cake Express, http://www.crabcakeexpress.com/. We’ve tried others, but keep coming back to these with the terrific jumbo lump meat. We’ve given them as gifts and have also served them for Christmas Eve dinner. They are always a hit and Scott is always helpful with the order.
The lobster meat from Hancock Gourmet Lobster in Maine is second to none, http://www.hancockgourmetlobster.com/. We love the “Downeast Lobster Rolls,” and have been both the recipient and sender of this gift. And by all accounts, they have been a great treat. One lovely couple we know reported that not only were they delicious, but they brought back wonderful memories of long ago times at the Maine coast. We’ve tried making our own lobster rolls and having them at well-known seafood places in NYC, but the ones from Hancock take first place for us.
