Event Description

J&R Seafood Market Thanksgiving Menu 2026 gives holiday hosts a chance to bring the flavors of coastal New England to their Thanksgiving tables. The Mystic seafood market is accepting advance orders for an assortment of seafood specialties, including lobster dishes, stuffed clams, homemade chowders, shrimp platters, and fresh seafood selections.

Customers must place their orders by Monday, November 23, with pickup scheduled for Wednesday, November 25, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the market’s Williams Avenue location.

Thanksgiving With a Taste of the Sea

Turkey may be the traditional centerpiece of Thanksgiving dinner, but there’s always room for a little New England seafood.

J&R Seafood Market is offering a holiday menu that makes it easy to add seafood appetizers, chowders, and prepared dishes to the celebration. Whether you’re serving a traditional turkey dinner or planning an entirely different holiday meal, the market has options for both.

The selection begins with seafood-stuffed clams, shrimp, and scallops, along with prepared lobster dishes such as lobster risotto pops, lobster macaroni and cheese, and lobster-stuffed mushrooms.

Guests looking for something to serve before dinner can choose from several seafood platters, including hot and cold SEAcuterie arrangements, seared marinated tuna, and shrimp cocktail.

There’s also a selection of chowders for anyone who wants to begin Thanksgiving dinner with a familiar New England favorite.

Seafood Appetizers Worth Sharing

The holiday menu includes several smaller dishes suited to entertaining.

Seafood-stuffed clams, scallops, and jumbo shrimp offer familiar choices for a holiday appetizer spread. Lobster-stuffed mushrooms and mini crab cakes provide additional options, while bacon-wrapped scallops combine two popular flavors in one bite.

For a larger gathering, the market’s SEAcuterie platters offer an assortment of prepared seafood appetizers.

The hot platter includes items such as mini crab cakes, bacon-wrapped scallops, mini lobster rolls, and shrimp cocktail. The cold version features chilled seafood selections, including shrimp cocktail, mini lobster salad rolls, crab dip, and seafood salads.

Both are designed for sharing, making them useful for guests arriving before the main Thanksgiving meal.

A Holiday Menu Beyond the Traditional Dinner

J&R’s Thanksgiving offerings extend well beyond appetizers.

The market is selling live lobsters in several sizes, giving families the option of preparing a seafood-centered holiday dinner at home.

Other selections include seared marinated tuna platters and tuna poke, along with sushi platters featuring tuna or salmon.

The market’s chowder selection includes lobster bisque, scallop and bacon chowder, New England clam chowder, and Rhode Island clam chowder.

For hosts who want to add a seafood course without preparing everything themselves, these selections offer a convenient way to complement a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
