HOLIDAY ORDERS - GET 'EM IN!
To ensure that you get everything you need for a happy holiday celebration, don't wait until the last minute! We are taking orders now, for party trays, specialty items, anything you need a lot of, e.g. having Lobster or Shrimp Bisque for a starter? Buy it ahead or place an order. Bisque "shooters" make a great appetizer!
To order holiday party trays, you can do it online by clicking HERE, or by calling the store 630-887-4700, or by stopping in. Payment accepted at time of order so you won't have to stand in line to pay - just give us your name at the will call table and we will bring it up to the front for you.
LAST DAY FOR TRAY ORDERS 12/19
You may have noticed that we are not offering the Shrimp and Claws tray this year - crab claws have gone up to over $50/lb., so we would have to raise the price of the tray far too much. If you just have to have a Shrimp and Claws tray, call the store and see if we can get the claws (they're in short supply), and how much it would cost you - we'll quote you a price, you can decide if you want it that much.

SEA-WORTHY STOCKING STUFFERS
Choose from seafood serving utensils, wonderful spices, Stonewall sauces and more, plus everyone's favorite, a Burhop's Gift Certificate! You can order online by clicking HERE, (scroll down below the trays), over the phone or in the store. There is a small fee if you want the certificate mailed, to cover postage and handling. Who wouldn't love a gift of great dining?

MASKS ARE NOW OPTIONAL
We've been wearing masks for two years to keep ourselves and our customers safe. Some of our staff will continue to do so, and some of our customers will as well. If you are showing any signs of illness, please place a curbside pickup order, 630-887-4700, $25 minimum.
IF JUST ONE PERSON ON OUR STAFF GETS SICK, WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FOR UP TO 2 WEEKS. THAT WOULD BE A HUGE FINANCIAL PROBLEM FOR US AS A SMALL BUSINESS WITH PERISHABLE PRODUCT. A MASK IS NOT PUNISHMENT, IT'S NOT POLITICAL, IT'S A WAY TO PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF GERMS.

Pick up some suggested party menu ideas the next time you're in the store - enjoy your guests, let us do the work!
In late June we catered a fun event for a family in Wilmette - a combined 40th and 5th birthday party, father and son. Another father and son duo, Burhop's Chef Jaime and his son Jonny, cooked up kebabs, lobster tails, sweet corn and more for a happy crowd of many ages. According to the hostess:
"An AMAZING feast thanks to you, John and Jamie. The food was amazing and the chefs could not have been nicer. Everyone was raving and we certainly let them know who to call! Thank you again, you have very satisfied customers."

Recently we did an oyster bar for a party in Hinsdale, and a lobster tail birthday party in Kenilworth.
And in early October, we did a socially distanced wedding reception with individual lobster boil dinners.
If you have something to celebrate, do it with great seafood! We will custom design a menu, just for you. To find out more, email us at nbburfish@gmail.com, or call us at 630-887-4700.
