What is the Best Seafood to Eat in the Spring?

Best Seafood to Eat in the Spring at Summer Shack

As the weather warms up, it’s time to enjoy the freshest spring seafood. At Summer Shack, we believe in serving the best seasonal catches, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Spring brings abundant fresh seafood options, from delicate shellfish to light and flaky fish, perfect for refreshing and vibrant dishes.

Oysters Are Best in Spring Before Summer Waters Warm Up

Spring is the perfect season for oysters, as they are at their peak flavor before summer temperatures warm the waters. Known for their briny and slightly sweet taste, oysters are a must-try for seafood lovers. Whether you enjoy them raw on the half shell or baked with garlic and butter, these delicacies are a springtime favorite at Summer Shack.

Soft-Shell Crabs Are Only Available in Spring After Shedding

One of spring's most highly anticipated seafood items is soft-shell crab. This seasonal treat is available only briefly, making it a must-try before the season ends. Soft-shell crabs are lightly fried and crispy, offering a perfect texture and rich flavor balance. Enjoy them in a sandwich or as a plated entrée for an unforgettable spring seafood experience.

Spring Lobsters Have Sweeter, More Tender Meat

While lobster is available throughout the year, spring lobsters tend to have sweeter, more tender meat as they begin their molting process. Whether you prefer a classic lobster roll or a steamed whole lobster with butter, this seafood staple is an excellent choice as we transition into warmer months.

Clams Are at Their Plumpest and Juiciest in the Spring

Spring is also an excellent time to enjoy fresh clams, whether in a classic New England clam chowder, a light pasta dish, or steamed with white wine and garlic. At Summer Shack, we serve local clams in a variety of ways, each one highlighting their sweet and briny flavor.

Scallops in Spring Are at Their Peak Sweetness

Scallops are at their sweetest and most tender in the spring, making them a fantastic option for seafood lovers. Whether seared to perfection or added to fresh seafood pasta, scallops provide a delicious buttery taste that pairs beautifully with seasonal vegetables and light sauces.
