Topsail Steamer is introducing coastal holiday meals to homes across the country with its make-at-home seafood steam pots, designed to simplify hosting during the festive season. The family-run company's Bay Buckets provide all components necessary for a seafood feast, requiring only the addition of liquid before steaming and serving. This model presents a flavorful alternative to traditional holiday dishes such as turkey and ham. Danielle Mahon, CEO and Founder of Topsail Steamer, stated that the holidays represent an ideal time to bring loved ones together over great-tasting food and experiences, with the seafood steam pots helping families create warm, coastal moments regardless of their celebration location.
The woman-owned business has achieved recognition through appearances on Shark Tank and selection by Oprah for The O List: Summer Fun. Customers have multiple avenues for obtaining these holiday meals. They can visit any of the brand's 11 locations across Alabama, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, and North Carolina, or place orders by phone for pickup or delivery where available. For individuals outside these geographic areas, Topsail Steamer offers nationwide shipping through Goldbelly.
The company's distinctive operational model involves customers selecting from various seafood combinations at physical locations, where staff prepare single-use steam pots filled with fresh ingredients. Each pot begins with a foundation of sweet corn on the cob, Red Bliss potatoes, and proprietary seasonings, accompanied by cocktail sauce and butter for dipping. Seafood options include NC shrimp, little neck clams, crab, scallops, and lobster tail, along with a choice of sausage. As a holiday promotion, customers purchasing a $100 gift card on December 17, 2025, will receive a $50 bonus card, applicable to both traditional and eGift Cards available on the company website. This offer applies to cards for use in-store but excludes Goldbelly gift cards.

The company's expansion continues with plans for additional locations following a partnership announced in early 2024 with Elite Franchise Capital to develop over 40 new stores nationwide. This growth reflects increasing consumer interest in convenient, restaurant-quality meal options that can be prepared at home, particularly during holiday seasons when families seek memorable dining experiences without extensive preparation time. The availability of these seafood steam pots through multiple channels, including physical stores and nationwide shipping, demonstrates how food service companies are adapting to consumer demands for both convenience and quality during traditionally busy periods.
