Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the King Crab Legs

    In the same pot, add the king crab legs and boil for about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let cool.

  3. 3

    Boil the Shrimp

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Drain and cool in ice water.

  4. 4

    Shuck the Oysters and Clams

    Carefully shuck the oysters and clams, placing them on a plate with ice to keep them chilled.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Fresh Fish

    Clean and fillet the fresh fish. You can grill or steam it. If grilling, season with salt and pepper and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Create the Seafood Tower

    On a large serving platter or tiered stand, begin stacking the seafood in layers. Start with the lobster, then add the crab legs, shrimp, oysters, clams, and finally the fresh fish.

    Add lemon wedges and fresh parsley around the seafood tower for garnish.

  3. 8

    Serve with Sauces

    Place the cocktail sauce and melted butter in small bowls on the side for dipping.
