Tide to Table debuts with a coastal twist on a brunch classic: Crab Eggs Benedict. This refined dish combines lump crab meat, avocado, poached eggs, and hollandaise with a coastal kick—perfect for mornings on the water or at home. A little time and technique bring big flavor straight from the boat to your plate.
There’s a special kind of peace that comes with mornings on the coast. The tide’s rolling in, the boat’s rocking gently at the dock, and there’s that unmistakable scent of salt in the air. Those quiet moments after a great day on the water are what inspired Tide to Table, our new series from Sportsman Boats.
With Tide To Table, we’re celebrating what it really means to live the Sportsman lifestyle — time spent with family and friends, exploring our coastal waters, and gathering around a meal that brings it all together. It’s about slowing down, appreciating the day, and enjoying the simple rewards that come from life on the water.
For our very first episode, I wanted to start with something close to home — my favorite breakfast: Crab Eggs Benedict. It’s one of those dishes that perfectly captures the flavor of the coast. The richness of the hollandaise, the sweetness of fresh crab, and that touch of Old Bay all come together in a way that just feels right on a Carolina morning. Plus, I enjoy treating my brother like a personal chef! While the goal was to use crabs caught in our own traps we had to improvise and instead made a trip the local market for the best lump crab we could find.
We filmed this one right on the water in South Carolina — a calm morning on Goat Island, with nothing but the sound of the marsh and the sizzle from the griddle. It’s the kind of setting that reminds you why we do what we do — because life’s better when it’s shared outdoors, surrounded by the people and places that matter most.
Launching Tide To Table with my favorite meal felt like the perfect way to start. This series is about more than recipes — it’s about connection. It’s about the memories made on the water, and how they carry over to the table when the day is done.
So, here’s to good boats, good food, and good company. We’re just getting started.
