Smoked Fish (e.g., Lox or Smoked Whitefish):
- A traditional yet versatile choice smoked fish adds a rich, savory depth to dishes like bagels or omelets. Its firm texture and bold flavor pair well with creamy cheeses and fresh herbs.

- Crispy on the outside and tender inside crab cakes bring a gourmet touch to breakfast. Serve them with a zesty remoulade or a poached egg for a satisfying morning meal.

Start by selecting fresh or high-quality preserved seafood to ensure a delicious breakfast for dinner. Popular options include:
Smoked salmon (pre-sliced for convenience)
Canned tuna or sardines (packed in water or olive oil)

Bread (toast, bagels, or English muffins)
Dairy (cream cheese, butter, or shredded cheese)
Seasonings (salt, pepper, fresh dill, or lemon zest)
Step 3: Cook the Base
For scrambled eggs: Whisk 2â3 eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk. Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat, pour in the eggs, and stir gently until softly set, making it a perfect dish on fish for your first meal of the day.
For an omeletFollow the same process as scrambled eggs but let the eggs settle into a flat layer for a unique take on eggs benedict. Add veggies to one half before folding.
Step 4: Incorporate the Seafood
Smoked salmon: Lay 2â3 slices atop scrambled eggs or inside the omelet just before folding.
Crab or shrimp: Sauté briefly in butter with garlic, then mix into eggs or stuff into an omelet.
Canned fish can be a convenient option for eating seafood for breakfast, adding flavor and nutrition to your meal.: Drain and flake tuna/sardines, then layer onto buttered toast with avocado or cream cheese.
Step 5: Add Quick, Flavorful Touches
Sprinkle with fresh herbs (dill, chives) or a squeeze of lemon to elevate your dish on fish.
For richness, add a dollop of cream cheese to smoked salmon toast or a spoonful of Greek yogurt to a seafood omelet.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Plate your dish with sides like:
A handful of arugula or sliced cucumber for freshness.
A wedge of lemon or dash of hot sauce for brightness.
Whole-grain toast or roasted potatoes for a hearty base.
