Summer Entertaining with a San Francisco Twist: Local Seafood Paella

There's no better time than summer for entertaining, especially in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. The region's rich culinary landscape becomes our inspiration at Culinary Eye Catering, where we infuse local flavors into every event we cater.

Consider starting your summer party with a cheese and charcuterie board, highlighting local favorites like Point Reyes Blue Cheese and Fatted Calf salumi. For a main course, serve a family-style paella brimming with locally-sourced seafood, from Hog Island oysters to Monterey Bay prawns. Don't forget a seasonal salad featuring Star Route Farms greens and First Light Farm heirloom tomatoes.

Take advantage of our beautiful San Francisco summer nights by setting a relaxed, alfresco dining scene. Use warm, glowing string lights and centerpieces of fresh, locally-grown flowers. Make your guests comfortable with cozy blankets and pillows in case the San Francisco fog rolls in.

Or, maybe try something a bit more interactive with Local Seafood Paella.

Ever wanted to whisk your guests away on a gastronomic journey? Our Local Seafood Paella might just do the trick! Brimming with Hog Island oysters, Monterey Bay prawns, and local mussels, this dish is a love letter to San Francisco's abundant coastline.
