Fish/mermaid/pirate/ocean etc themed food and drink

[PrettyCandles]

For a children's party. Preferably stuff that doesn't need much preparation.

Any suggestions?

And does anyone know where I can buy the little fish-shaped crackers I've sometimes seen at other parties?

Bump?

Jelly in a big gold fish shaped bowl with jelly sweets shaped like fish dropped in?

Meringue shells dyed a nice colour?

Ummm - will think of more...

Go to Tesco (I think?) and get some of their pineapple and coconut juice drink (in the long life juice section) - it's made from concentrate juice (the only reason it's a juice drink is the coconut milk, I think) and it's really nice - you could call it "Caribbean Cocktail" or something.

Tuna sandwiches cut out with this - voila! Shark Sarnies

Plain cake from Tesco with this or this on the top.

You can also get matching cup cake toppers

Hard boiled eggs cup in half with a flag to make little boats?

Cut an orange in half, scoop out the flesh and make orange jelly with it, refill the halves then, when set, cut then into quarters and add a sail to make Jelly boats?

Chocolate coins for "pieces of eight"?

Chicken drumsticks? Just call them Parrot legs

I'm getting carried away now DS might have to have a pirate party for his next birthday

Brilliant ideas - please keep 'em coming!

Particularly like the 'parrot' legs and the 'jelly' fish

The fish-shaped crackers are American (called Goldfish crackers)so a small grocery/deli that has American stuff might stock them.

For my DD's mermaid party we had blue jelly, sliced cheese cut into fish shapes with cookie cutter, fish-shaped sandwiches (same cutter), breadstick 'fishing poles', skips crisps (look like shells), fish-shaped jelly sweets. And a mermaid cake, which was just a pink cake with some plastic mermaids from the pound store on top. But you could make cupcakes and crumble digestives on top of the icing to look like sand.

(If you're doing games, the girls loved 'pin the leg on the octopus' and digging for marble 'pearls' and chocolate coins in a sand tub).

American? Ah ha - Costco!

Love the cheese fish and the fishing rods.

M and S used to do little fish-shaped crackers.

Don't forget those chewy sweets "shrimps" - they could be used in jelly or on top of cakes.

I think sealife tableware is available at most of the usual partyware places.

May be your dc can have fun decorating a sea-themed birthday cake - lots of blue butter-icing!

IKEA have fish shaped ice-cube trays. I know, I have one

And a sea turtle shaped one from the Sea Life Center.

What happened to those crisp/biscuit things called "fish and chips" you used to be able to get when I was little?

Our local M&S don't have the fish crackers, but they do have the pink shrimps.

I want to make cheese fish, but in all my 1001 biscuit cutter shapes I can't find a single fish! Not even among the playdo cutters! I do not beleeeve it!

fish cutters galore

M and S sell fizzy fish sweeties!

Not a food idea, but one for a goody bag prezzie or prize - the "fortune-telling fish" - my dc love these - sorry don't know how to create a link (...can anyone explain briefly?)

Costco don't have Goldfish crackers

but instead I have found fish-shaped fishfingers. So dd is .

This is fun, but it's so much easier just to bung 'em all into a softplay place, or pay an entertainer.

And regalice doesn't set well in this heat, so the mermaid that was going to be sitting on top of the cake will now be lying down on the cake!
