Cornish Seafood Catering — Straight From the Coast to Your Table

You're in Cornwall. The seafood here is some of the best in the country, and it makes no sense to serve your guests anything less. At Salt Wind Catering, our seafood platters are built around what's fresh and local — Cornish dressed lobster, crab, shell-on king prawns, smoked salmon, smoked mackerel pâté, and more. It's a genuine taste of the coast.

What's on the Platter

Cornish dressed lobster. Dressed Cornish crabs. Shell-on king prawns. Peeled king prawns. Crayfish tails. Smoked salmon. Kiln-roast hot smoked salmon. Anchovies. Smoked Cornish mackerel pâté. Fresh salad greens and vine tomatoes. Items may vary by season and availability — we always use the best of what's available, not what's cheapest.

Perfect for Special Occasions

Our seafood platters are a showstopper at weddings and anniversary parties. They work brilliantly alongside a grazing platter for a table that genuinely stops people in their tracks. For holiday makers renting a cottage in St Ives or Padstow, a seafood platter delivered to your door is the ultimate first-night treat.

Giant Pan Seafood Paella

If you want hot Cornish seafood served to a crowd, our giant pan seafood paella is cooked live at your venue with prawns, squid, clams, and mussels in saffron rice. Read about how we cook for 100+ guests live on-site.

How We Source Our Seafood

Cornwall's fishing ports are some of the busiest in England. Newlyn, Looe, Padstow, Mevagissey — boats go out daily and land catches that are sold at harbour-side markets the same morning. That's the seafood we use. We don't buy frozen imported prawns and call them Cornish. Our lobsters are pot-caught off the Cornish coast. Our crabs are dressed locally. Our mackerel is smoked in Cornwall. When you order a seafood platter from us, you're getting genuine Cornish seafood with proper provenance — not a supermarket platter with a Union Jack sticker on it.

Seafood Platters for Every Event Size

We build seafood platters to suit the occasion. For an intimate dinner for 6 at a holiday cottage, a single platter with dressed lobster and crab is a perfect centrepiece. For a corporate event of 40, multiple platters across the table create a stunning seafood bar. For a wedding of 100+, we scale up with additional platters and combine with our giant pan paella for a full seafood feast.

Pair Seafood with the Rest of Your Menu

A seafood platter doesn't have to be the whole meal. Many clients use it as a premium starter alongside a wider spread. Combine with our sandwich platters for substance, savoury platters for variety, and sweet platters for dessert. For drinks receptions, seafood and a Pimp Your Prosecco station is a combination that never fails.

We deliver seafood catering across Cornwall — from Penzance and Falmouth to Newquay, Truro, Helston, and into Devon too.
