With Valentine’s Day bearing down on us like a fishing boat in fertile waters, you may be looking for romantic dinner ideas to make the holiday special for you and your partner. If you’re a seafood-loving couple like many of us at Pike Place Fish Market, look no further!
We’ve got what you need to make Valentine’s Day meals special and delicious, no matter how far you are in the country from our Seattle home.
Valentine’s Day Meal Idea: Oysters! (You Know Why)
Oysters have been prized as an aphrodisiac since ancient times. The scientific backing for their supposed romance-boosting properties is thin (well, basically nonexistent), but we still think they’re a wonderful addition to a date night dinner.
These beautiful bivalves with the wonderful diversity of flavors produced by regional variation belong in any seafood-loving foodie’s date night meals. Ours can make your Valentine’s Day dinner special.
Shop our Crab and Shellfish section for our current selection, and if you don’t have one, make sure to snag a world-famous Pike Place Fish Market oyster knife while you’re there!
Valentine’s Day Dinner Idea: Set the Mood with Some Caviar
Are you the kind of lover who delights in extravagant gifts and grand gestures of your affection? Have you been shopping for (or hoping for) fine jewelry or a beautiful designer bag to unwrap over your Valentine’s Day date night dinner? Bring even more luxury into your evening by serving up caviar along with your eternal passion.
Our wild-caught sturgeon caviar is a guilt-free indulgence. We harvest our caviar from the only sustainable commercially fished sturgeon in the United States. Once harvested, it’s hand packed and meticulously quality checked for color, size, freshness, flavor, and texture. Every bite is a taste of luxury.
For caviar lovers on a more limited budget, we also carry sustainable wild salmon caviar. You may know salmon caviar from your favorite sushi restaurant, where you’ll find it piled onto a bed of rice—which is a serving suggestion we’re totally on board with! Our wild salmon caviar brings a bright pop of flavor to any date night dinner.
Valentine’s Day Meal Idea: Let Us Do the Work!
You don’t need the cooking skills of a master chef to make a memorable Valentine’s Day dinner. All you need is a helping hand from your friends at Pike Place Fish Market.
We carry a selection of ready-to-cook soups, spices, and meal kits, ready to pop onto the stove. If you can follow instructions, you can impress the love of your life (or your current conquest) with a date night dinner that features a rich, creamy seafood bisque or chowder or a hearty, flavorful paella. Browse our Soups, Sauces, and Spices for easy, romantic dinner ideas for two at home. No servers and no tips required.
We also carry a seasonal variety of cooked crab, from legendary king crab to snow crab and Dungeness. You could even pick up some steaks at the store and anchor a surf-and-turf Valentine’s Day dinner with our wild jumbo lobster tails.
We hope you found something to enjoy in our romantic dinner ideas. Valentine’s Day is about love. Your Valentine’s Day dinner can also include your love for seafood!
