Method

Preparing Seafood

  1. 1

    Prepare Oysters and Clams

    Rinse the oysters and clams under cold running water. Scrub the shells with a brush to remove any sand and debris. Place them on a platter with ice.

  2. 2

    Prepare Shrimp Cocktail

    Boil the shrimp in salted water for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and arrange on a platter.

  3. 3

    Prepare Lobster Cocktail

    Boil the lobster for 12-15 minutes in salted water. Let it cool, then crack the shell and remove the meat. Cut the lobster into bite-sized pieces and place on a platter.

Preparing Smoked Fish

  1. 4

    Arrange Smoked Fish

    Thinly slice the pastrami smoked salmon and smoked trout. Arrange them neatly on a separate platter.

Making Cocktail Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Cocktail Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until combined. Adjust horseradish to taste for spiciness.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    Cut the lemon into wedges and arrange them on the platter alongside the seafood. Add a bunch of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
