Get to Know Our Mouth-Watering Seafood Appetizers

Chicken wings, spinach and artichoke dip, charcuterie boards, and sliders are all quintessential American appetizers that everyone knows and loves. But there are other, less obvious options to consider if you’re looking to dine on small plates. Seafood, for example, comes to mind. 

Seafood makes a great appetizer because it can add variety to any meal. At 1920 Tavern, our seafood appetizers are not only prepared with the freshest ingredients, but are crafted with a unique twist to tantalize your taste buds. Read more about our mouth-watering seafood restaurant appetizers and get ready for your next meal at 1920 Tavern! 

Tacos

These aren’t the tacos you find at your local Mexican restaurant. Elevated above traditional fish tacos, our shrimp, salmon, and tuna tacos are something to put on your bucket list. Our shrimp or salmon tacos are paired with coleslaw, pickled carrots, sweet chili, and chipotle crema, while our tuna tacos include lightly-blackened Sashimi-grade tuna topped with mango salsa and radicchio sriracha aioli for a sweet and spicy flavor pairing that’s like a party in your mouth. 

Steamed Mussels

Steamed mussels are the pinnacle of seafood appetizers. Ours are steamed fresh upon order and come with your choice of sauce: champagne herb broth with shallots, tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil, or chipotle cilantro tomato cream sauce. Whichever direction you go, steamed mussels are always a great choice to start off your dining experience at 1920 Tavern. 

Fried Shrimp

Fried shrimp is a classic staple dish in America, but can also serve as an elevated small plate that can help you rediscover your love for fried seafood. Our bayou fried shrimp is fried to perfection and served with cocktail sauce and a jalapeno remoulade. We bet you won’t be able to resist ordering another round. 

Calamari

You won’t find this seafood appetizer just anywhere. Our crispy Rhode Island calamari is served with wasabi aioli and creamy ponzu sauce that will give your taste buds a kick. It’s a local favorite for a reason. 

Crab Cakes

Crab cakes are a staple in the south, and we make sure to keep them a staple on our menu. Our cajun jumbo lump crab cakes are served with a potato croquette and topped with a lemon beurre blanc for an irresistible small plate you won’t want to share. 

Smoked Salmon Crostini

Perfectly sharable and carefully curated, our smoked salmon crostini features chilled smoked salmon atop slices of toasted french baguette. The addition of whipped herb goat cheese, dill honey mustard and tomato jam creates the perfect flavor combination in every bite. 

Seafood Arancini

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that our seafood arancini is extremely hard to resist. These seafood rice balls are perfectly shareable and a delightful start to dinner or lunch. A combination of lightly fried shrimp, crawfish, crab and saffron rice make this appetizer irresistible, especially when topped with our creole cream sauce!
