Hamptons Hosting Made Effortless: 10 Ideas for the Perfect Menu
If you want to impress your guests with a lavish spread of delicacies, an easy first choice is pure-bred Osetra caviar. Sourced straight from Caviar Russe, the Michelin-star caviar specialists in the heart of Manhattan, you can enjoy the cream of this most decadent crop without having to drive downtown and reserve a table.
For as long as we’ve had kings, truffles have been the chosen food of royalty. From the ancient Egyptians to modern Michelin-starred chefs today, truffles have always been a staple of any high-end spread. FreshDirect’s summer truffles offer that same timeless luxury, ready to elevate your table when the occasion calls for something extraordinary.
The Eastern Seaboard has a rich tradition of seafood classics your guests will be dying to try now that it’s summer. If you want to host a seafood soiree right on the beach, FreshDirect can provide juicy lobster tails, uniquely textured Argentinian shrimp, scallops sourced all the way from Hokkaido, and more. Or, better yet, get all three at once fresh on a kabob for your grill!
Halibut may not top your list when you think of fancy, exclusive seafood dining, but Atlantic Halibut is special. While its Pacific counterpart is common enough, overfishing has made Atlantic Halibut a particularly rare and prized catch. FreshDirect partners with farms like Nordic Halibut to sustainably bring this rare delicacy straight to your plate. Foodies in the know will appreciate your choice.

Lighten the Hosting Load With Catering

With catering delivery available in the Hamptons, Montauk, North Fork, and Shelter Island, you can enjoy effortless hosting without leaving your coastal retreat.
After spending four hours making sure your slow-cooked ribs are the perfect centerpiece, you might be left scrambling for sides to round out the meal.
