The Gift of Food

With Christmas just around the corner I was trying to figure out something original to get my parents as a special gift. They are in their 80s and have everything they could ever want or need. That’s when I came across a website where I could buy seafood online and have it delivered fresh to their door. They both enjoy crab and fresh fish and I decided this was what I was going to get them every Christmas.

The first year I ordered lobsters for them as well as some fresh clams. Their special seafood delivery showed up in time for New Year's Eve dinner. The next time I gave them fresh seafood for a gift I gave them a gift certificate and let them choose what they wanted to order. They ordered fresh swordfish and crab legs and this time I got an invitation to share the meal with them.

I was really pleased with how professionally run this business is; the seafood delivery is always fresh and always arrives the day after it is ordered. They offer a huge variety of seafood and always guarantee it to be fresh upon arrival. I’ve ordered from them many times for myself and have never had a single bad item.

Last year I was put in charge of hosting a business dinner for some of our clients. I decided to make it a seafood dinner with fresh fish, clams, shrimp, and crab. I planned the menu and ordered the seafood the day before the dinner. The seafood delivery showed up as promised the next day and the dinner party was a huge success. I actually gave the website address to several of the guests so they could order fresh seafood themselves.

Before I found this site where I can buy seafood online, I thought the only way to get fresh seafood was to go to a restaurant. That can be pretty expensive considering the portions you get are relatively small. I really like the idea of being able to have fresh fish and lobster at any time just by a quick click of the mouse. I know my parents have really enjoyed their seafood gifts and they always look forward to those special occasions when they get another gift certificate for fresh seafood. It’s nice to be able to find a gift they really enjoy and appreciate; I don’t ever stress about what to get them for Christmas anymore.
