Tips:

  • Choose the right crackers: Use sturdy crackers that can hold up to the weight of the seafood and toppings. Some good options include water crackers, Ritz crackers, or crostini.
  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood will have the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen seafood, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Cook the seafood properly: Seafood should be cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
  • Add flavorful toppings: There are endless possibilities for toppings, so get creative! Some popular options include cream cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa, and chopped herbs.
  • Serve immediately: Seafood crackers are best served immediately after they are made. The crackers will start to get soggy if they sit for too long.
