Which seafood entree?

Orchids, on December 18, 2017 at 2:36 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 28

Oookay...our restaurant tasting may have been a little TOO successful, as I really liked all of the entrees. FH has picked the non-seafood options and our vegan guest is covered for apps, dinner, and dessert, but I am trying to decide which seafood entree would be the most crowd-pleasing since they're all good. I've narrowed it down a little.

Salmon Alla Bella dipped in egg and parmesan batter with lemon-caper butter sauce

Imperial Salmon stuffed with mascarpone cheese and spinach with leek and lemon cream sauce

Herb Crusted Alaskan Halibut with lemon-caper butter sauce

Mixed Seafood Grill - Mahi Mahi, Salmon, and Prawns with Champagne Herb Buerre Blanc (Edit: this is out now since I've been reminded that a lot of our guests keep kosher and wouldn't be able to eat this)

I'm feeling slightly paralyzed with indecision lol...

    Yum they all sound really good... A mixed seafood grill sounds amazing! I do have to say though, the Salmon Alla Bella is my absolute favorite though!

    I would go with the halibut, for sure!! I think that's, by far, the nicest fish on there.

    With the mixed grill, they'd likely only give a very small piece of each item. Plus, you'd have to make sure they can omit the prawns for anyone that has a shellfish allergy but still wants to eat fish.

    @MFB ack, good point! We don't have any shellfish allergies that I know of but we DO have a lot of guests who keep kosher, so that's out!

    Side note...the BEST seafood entree they had was a calamari steak that was TO DIE FOR, but I know that would go over like a lead balloon in my family lol. -_- Maybe they'll let the bride have calamari? Smiley smile

    I can see why you are having trouble. The Salmon Alla Bella is a great choice and always a big hit and so is the halibut

    The Salmon Alla Bella would be my pick! The Halibut also sounds great!

    I think the halibut would be liked by more guests. Obviously you would be giving them a choice, but since my DH doesn't like salmon, and I have a shell fish allergy, the only fish that would appeal to both of us is the halibut.

    I would absolutely go for the halibut! It is such a light and wonderful fish, it should be pleasing to guests. Lots of people can have a love/hate with salmon, Halibut is more mild.

    I don't think you can go wrong with either, all sound amazing. But if it was my choice it would be the salmon stuffed with mascarpone cheese, I mean is stuffed with cheese!

    Thanks guys, I think I'm going to go with the halibut as it seems to be the most likely crowd-pleaser.

    I favor salmon and I think more people are familiar with it.

    I vote for Halibut. I know a lot of people that either don't like salmon or cant eat cheese, so I think Halibut is safer, plus I LOVE halibut!

    I really dislike breaded or battered fish, so I would definitely go with the halibut!

    It's an option, but I know that a lot of people in my family don't like calamari and a lot of them are going to want the seafood option since dinner is at a seafood restaurant. FH thinks I should ask for one just for me lol, but I'll just get the halibut and make the calamari and excuse to go back there for anniversaries and such. Smiley smile
