BRUNCH IDEAS: Make Mom some great eggs scrambled up with some Ducktrap smoked salmon and fresh chives -- elegant and easy! 

1) Poached Egg on a Crab Cake -- all you need is an English muffin, lightly toasted, a freshly poached egg, a Burhop's crab cake, and our Stone Ground Mustard Sauce. Saute the crab cake, place on the toasted half muffin, top with the poached egg and a dollop of mustard sauce. Mom will love you for it. You'll love you for it. (Make one for yourself).

2) Poached Salmon Fillets -- beautifully simmered in an authentic court bouillon. Comes with our own Sour Cream Dill Sauce. Serve with a green salad and our Herb Roasted Potatoes. (24 hours notice required for poaching). Have us make up a party tray, or take it home and put it on your own platter. To order party trays on line, CLICK HERE. (A party without a Burhop's Party Tray is just a meeting.)

3) Burhop's Cocktail Shrimp -- freshly cooked daily in-store with our own blend of spices. Order a Shrimp Tray to pass, or just buy a bunch and serve with a bowl of our famous Cocktail Sauce. 

4) Burhop's Spreads -- Smoked Salmon, Crab Blend, Smoked Whitefish or Shrimp -- just put in a bowl & add crackers. An economical appetizer everyone will love.

5) Tuna Salad -- freshly made Cranberry Tuna - serve on a slice of fresh cantaloupe with some slices of our fresh crusty bread. 

6) Lobster Rolls -- add some fruit salad and you have an amazing meal for Mom! Comes with a small serving of our Creamy Coleslaw.

7) Mussels -- our raised mussels are sweet and clean, ready to cook. Check out our many wonderful mussel recipes HERE.. Mussels are fun to eat, delicious, and incredibly good for you, high in omega 3s. 

8) Burhop's Crab Cakes or Salmon Burgers - do them on the grill or on the stove -- they come with our Stone Ground Mustard Sauce.

You my have noticed the new staff t-shirts with this message on the back - they'll be wearing them more when the weather stays warm. Unlike other stores, we get fresh fish deliveries every day except Sunday (our suppliers don't deliver Sunday, or we would get it on Sunday as well). Other stores generally get their fish delivered once or twice a week - which means fish may sit in their cases for days. It is our policy to sell out most of our fish daily, which is why we encourage people to order ahead, to avoid disappointment.

There are tasty aged meats, cheeses and wines, but not tasty aged fresh fish.

With fish, freshness is the key to your success.

Our spring weather, as usual, is quixotic - warm, cold, wet, dry - so this week's specials give you lots of cooking options. Bake or grill your salmon, sauté or grill your sea scallops on a skewer, sauté or bake your walleye or branzino. So many ways to enjoy your fresh fish and shellfish.

NB: Mother's Day is THIS SUNDAY - it's time to order something fabulous for Mom! See below for Mother's Day ideas.

The candy of the sea - so tasty and easy to cook. Just toss in seasoned flour and sauté for 4 - 5 minutes. We use a combo of olive oil and butter, sprinkle with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon. Great over rice, noodles, or just next to some nice potatoes, and a green veg or salad. Click here for Scallop Recipes.

Our scallops are chemical-free dry pack. You can taste the difference.

European sea bass, also known as Loup de Mer (wolf of the sea) and branzino. One of the tastiest fish you can eat - sute or bake with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of herbs or a drizzle of our Lemon Dill Sauce. This could be your new favorite fish.

One of our favorites until the wild salmon starts running - bake, poach, sear and bake, or grill. Wonderful topped with one of Jaime's fresh pestos, or a drizzle of Lemon Dill Sauce. Check out our favorite Salmon Recipes HERE.

Just bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes, before serving, add the Lemon Dill Sauce (comes with) and you have an elegant meal with very little work.

The perfect side dish for almost any meal! Just warm and serve with your fish, or whatever you're having for dinner. Also great as a tasty and healthy lunch.

One of Jaime's great homemade soups - in the freezer case. Buy some on sale this week, treat Mom this weekend! Each 1 lb. container provides two 8 oz. servings. Keep some in your freezer.

Made with fresh cilantro, a tasty addition to grilled or baked fish, wonderful tossed with pasta and cooked shrimp, great on a fish taco.

Another tasty creation from one of our staff - a combination of fresh mild tasting whitefish, branzino and walleye, with spices and crumbs that crisp up when cooked. Makes a wonderful quick lunch or dinner, ideal for those who don't like salmon! Serve with or without a bun. Great topped with our tartar sauce.
