Christmas seafood recipes

When it comes to Christmas entertaining, perhaps you're the type of host that likes to lay the snacks out on the table and let your guests help themselves – oysters on ice with zingy dressings, say, alongside lobster rolls, seafood skewers and prawn cocktails. Or maybe you thrive in a sit-down setting, where platters of striking salads and oven-baked whole fish get passed around with gusto. Whatever your pleasure, you'll win Christmas with these recipes that keep the ocean's finest front and centre.
