Once again, Bluewater Grill Santa Barbara across from Stearns Wharf is offering sage holiday advice for seafood lovers looking for something unique this time of year: Stuff the Lobster Instead of the Bird! Their annual New England-style lobster celebration is so popular, they’re hosting two events this year, November 12 and December 10.

Stuffed Maine Lobster is a classic family feast that originated in Boston-area seafood restaurants and has since become a popular New England holiday tradition. Bluewater chefs will serve a whole Maine lobster stuffed with a special shrimp and buttery panko-crumb stuffing and served with a choice of New England or Manhattan Clam Chowder, two sides, unlimited fresh sourdough bread and a Bluewater bib for just $45. Paired with the feast will be two hand-picked Sauvignon Blancs, Oyster Bay from New Zealand, and a St. Supery from Napa Valley. Book now, these holiday feast events are very popular.

Bluewater Grill serves a wide variety of fresh and delicious seafood dishes in a relaxed, nautically themed space. Located at the foot of State Street, 15 E Cabrillo Blvd, open at 11:30 am for lunch and dinner, bluewatergrill.com, (805) 845-5121
