Since eating seafood like lobster, crab and peel-and-eat shrimp is both a deluxe food experience and a hands-on activity, it’s great for a party-especially in the summer.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, North Sea Fish and Farm diversified their business and started offering their products straight to consumers through online websites for local delivery or pickup at storefront.
In that time, one of the products they launched and have been super excited about, is the Backyard Boil. It is a preassembled seafood boil that includes everything you need for a seafood feast.
The Backyard Boil includes the following:
- Frozen: Shrimp, Scallops, Mussels, & Sausage.
- Fresh: Potatoes, Corn, Onion, & Garlic.
- Dry Goods: Cajun Seasoning, Bibs, Tablecloth, Cooking Instructions and EVEN the POT to cook in!
Seafood boils are popular throughout the southern US & maritimes, especially during the summertime, with shrimp boils, crab boils, fish boils, and clambakes providing reasons for folks to gather around a steaming pot of food outdoors and eat from a large community table.
The Backyard Boil items are all put together in one easy package for the consumer with detailed instructions to cook the feast. The Backyard Boil is something that not everyone in Canada has participated in and it is a great way to celebrate time together with friends & family. It is affordable as our sell price is $150 locally for our regular size which is 10 lbs of food which feeds 4-6 people at $25/person.
It is a very versatile product that can be:
- Shared with anyone – friends, family, coworkers, or teammates
- Shared anywhere – backyard, camping in the woods, on the beach, or indoors
- Cooked however – Pot can cooked be on a stove top, gas burner, BBQ, or over a campfire
- A part of celebrations – birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, work parties, or Mother’s/Father’s Day
