Sip and Sea
How to Host a Fisherman’s Feast Without Smelling Like a Dock
There’s something undeniably charming about a seafood spread under twinkle lights. Sip and Sea captures that just-off-the-boat feeling—no yacht required. It’s our favorite way to host in the summer: salty, a little rustic, and stylish.
The Vibe: Coastal, Casual, a Little Bit Kitsch
Sip and Sea blends east coast seafood shack with European summer mood. It’s linen meets lemon. Rope detail meets white wine. The best part? You don’t have to cook a thing if you don’t want to. This theme looks impressive, even when your main dish is delivered.
What to Serve
This theme is forgiving. Whether you’re hosting on a patio, in a dining room, or on a folding table in the driveway—these ideas work:
- Boil-in-a-bag seafood mix (grab it frozen or fresh, toss it in a pot, done)
- Shrimp cocktail with lemon wedges
- Store-bought lobster ravioli + butter candle for dipping
- Crusty bread + flavored butter
- Big green salad with dill, fennel, or lemon vinaigrette
- Lemon bars, mini cheesecakes, or a tray of grocery store desserts with sea salt sprinkled on top
Pro tip: serve it all family-style. Paper under the tableware. Let people roll up their sleeves.
What to Sip
- Chilled Sauvignon Blanc
- Spiked lemonade in enamel mugs
- Grapefruit spritz with a splash of gin or vodka
- Canned rosé if you’re feeling lazy (we support it)
What to Wear
- Breezy linen sets
- Oversized knits with denim shorts
- Button-downs tied at the waist
- Stripes, ropes, fisherman hats, or anything nautical-adjacent
- Messy bun with big gold hoops
- Barefoot, boat shoes, or Birkenstocks
What to Play
- A playlist with Hozier, Fleetwood Mac, Maggie Rogers, or maybe yacht rock.
- Icebreaker: ask guests where they’d buy a second home if money wasn’t an issue

Final Tip From the Curator:
Don’t overthink it. This box does the work for you—just open, set, and sip. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure someone else takes out the trash at the end.
