Planning a holiday party, whether for a business or a cozy family gathering, can be both exciting and daunting.

Here’s a guide on how to make your holiday party shine with seafood catering from Waterman's Pride, whether you’re planning an office gathering, a holiday family dinner, or a football season get-together. 

Why Seafood is Perfect for the Holidays

Seafood isn’t just a summer staple; it’s perfect for winter, too. It’s festive, packed with flavor, and offers variety. Imagine tables lined with platters of shrimp, crab dip, stuffed shrimp, and savory Maryland crab soup, each providing a luxurious, hearty touch to your gathering. Serving seafood makes any holiday party feel special and is a surefire way to impress your guests with a spread that’s both unique and crowd-pleasing.

Top Picks from the Waterman’s Pride Catering Menus

Our catering options are designed to let you build a delicious and varied spread. Here are some standout options to consider:

• A holiday favorite, steamed shrimp are lightly seasoned and served with lemon and cocktail sauce. They’re easy to eat, perfect for mingling, and a relatively-low-mess option for office parties.
• Available in multiple sizes, you can easily cater to small or large crowds. For bigger gatherings, opt for a large platter to keep guests satisfied.

• We offer a variety of seafood platters that will please every palate. Try our Shrimp Cocktail Platter, featuring extra-large, peeled, deveined, and chilled shrimp served with cocktail sauce—a classy, crowd-pleasing choice.
• For a richer, heartier option, our Seafood Egg Platters come topped with crab meat or shrimp and are a fantastic snack for guests looking for bold flavors with a twist on traditional holiday platters.

• Few dishes say “holiday indulgence” like our famous crab dip. Made with lump crab meat, cheeses, and spices, this dip is a warm, comforting addition to any holiday spread.
• Served with bread for dipping, crab dip pairs well with football games and holiday movie nights, making it perfect for both office parties and family gatherings. A three-pound serving feeds up to 10 guests, while a five-pound serving covers up to 20.

• Elevate your menu with our stuffed shrimp, a perfect choice for those who want something unique and satisfying. The blend of shrimp stuffed with delicious fillings is both festive and delicious.
• These make an excellent addition to the table, giving your guests a taste of gourmet seafood without the hassle of preparation.

• Hosting a football-themed holiday event? Seafood is a fantastic match for game day! Serve Waterman’s Crab Balls, which are easy to enjoy in front of the screen and pair well with sauces like mustard, cocktail, or tartar.
• For a main dish that’s game-day-friendly, our Shrimp Creole or Shrimp Scampi served over rice offer warm, filling options that satisfy without being too heavy.

Stress-Free Catering for Busy Professionals

The holidays are often the busiest time of year, especially for businesses trying to close out the year well. Waterman’s Pride understands this and aims to make holiday event planning as stress-free as possible. By opting for catering, you can skip the kitchen hassle and let us handle everything, from food prep to setup, so you can focus on celebrating. 

Not only do we offer flexible menu options, but our team also provides delivery and the option to hire servers to ensure a smooth event. For business clients, this is particularly helpful, as it allows employees to enjoy the holiday festivities without interruption.

Ideal for Businesses and Corporate Events

Waterman’s Pride is a popular choice for corporate holiday events. Unlike family gatherings, business parties often require a variety of options to suit diverse tastes and dietary needs. Our menu’s wide selection ensures that each guest finds something they love, and with our portion sizes, feeding larger crowds is simple and cost-effective.

Additionally, the festive atmosphere of a holiday party with seafood elevates the mood, making it ideal for networking, celebrating the year’s accomplishments, or simply unwinding with coworkers. With the flexibility of our holiday menu and the added convenience of on-site setup and cleanup, businesses can host an elegant holiday celebration without the logistical headache.

Menu Customizations and Extras

For added holiday cheer, you can build your menu to include seasonal classics. Pair seafood with:

• Deviled Eggs Platter: Topped with Old Bay, crab, or shrimp for an added local flavor.
• Maryland Crab Soup or Cream of Crab Soup: Perfect as a warm starter, especially on chilly winter days.
• Crab Mac and Cheese: A decadent side dish that adds a comforting touch to your holiday spread.

Each platter is carefully crafted with fresh ingredients, and many of our items can be ordered in sizes to serve anywhere from small gatherings to large crowds.
