The “Big Splash Seacuterie” Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards are an entertainer’s best friend! They’re simple to make, require minimal cooking, and they’re flexible, allowing you to incorporate many ingredients you already have. Use our Canadian Seafood board as a template or to inspire your custom creation.

  1. Wash and prepare fresh mussels and cook as desired. (See our “Weeknight Bistro-Style Moules et Frites1” recipe for inspiration.)

  3. Top each deviled egg with a smoked mussel.

  6. Place smoked salmon, lox, and deviled eggs in larger open areas of the board.

  7. Fill in gaps with crackers, nori, fruit, and vegetables.

  8. Add parsley bunches to cover any remaining areas.

  9. Sprinkle capers and dill over lox.

Tip: Any smoked fish may be used in place of salmon.
