Start out with three cheeses to not overwhelm your guests with too many choices. Even though it may seem intimidating, just remember there are no “wrongs” when it comes to cheese! Cheese served before dinner should be light; cheese after dinner either a soft triple-crème cheese, or go full flavored. Pick your cheeses according to what your guests will like, either use different milk types, or go for the color palette on your plate. Either way, just experiment and you will find out what your guests like or dislike.

That’s a loaded question but if you’re wondering about our Calder Brothers Creamline Milk (glass bottle with a white cap), it’s because it’s unhomogenized so the cream naturally rises to the top.

It provides ample amounts of vitamins like folic acid, calcium and iron. And it happens to be a member of the cabbage family (not the dolls).

Holiday Premium Beef is a program developed by Holiday Market that incorporates several key points to ensure a very tender, juicy steak, time after time. To start, our Premium Beef does not operate entirely separate from the USDA grading system, rather instead, uses only the top 3rd percentage of “Choice” cuts. Within that top 3rd, we choose products that have a moderate to abundant marbling to ensure a fantastic flavor. Second, we choose a product that is processing at an “A” maturity rating to ensure tenderness. Third is being breed-specific, only choosing cattle that have a hump never to exceed two inches which can lead to a tougher product. In the final step, all of our products complete a 45-day wet aging process to produce a juicy and flavorful product before it reaches the plate.

We are very proud to announce that none of our sausage contains gluten. We use natural meats and fresh spices to produce our line of pork and chicken sausage.

Holiday Meat Shop carries North American Spring Lamb, a tender and very flavorful product.

Yes! We have plenty of burners, ovens and cooking utensils so you can get right into the action.

Yes! When they are in season.

Let them ripen on the table, then place them in the refrigerator.

Yes! Just ask us!

Of course! We can show you how to pick the best one and you can taste it before you buy it, too.

Yes, but they’re even better to eat!

Vidalia Onions from Georgia or Texas Sweet Onions are great choices.

Winter: Christmas Trees Spring: Asparagus, Lettuce, Herbs Summer: Beans, Berries, Peppers, Melons, Tomatoes Fall: Potatoes, Pumpkins, Squash, Cabbage

A mix of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious provide the best blend of sweet and sour flavor.

Some fish and seafood may last longer, but we guarantee the items in our counter for 3 days. In general, a fish can keep up to two weeks from the day it’s caught if properly refrigerated below 38 degrees for the entire time. Here at Holiday Market, we never keep fish that long. We sell a lot of fish, and get several deliveries 6 days a week, we guarantee our fish and seafood for 3 days (including the day of purchase). We go over our stock daily to make sure we have the freshest fish possible and discard any fish that we think won’t last 3 days. So if you buy a fish Monday morning it will be guaranteed fresh until Wednesday evening.

No! We carry only dry packed Scallops. Dry packed means no added water and no added preservatives. We believe that The Dry packed Scallops taste much better and that’s why we only carry dry scallops. Most Scallops are treated with a water and sodium solution that preserves the scallops longer but this means it can absorb up to 25% of its weight in water. Thus “wet” scallops will be much cheaper as they are filled with extra water weight. This water dilutes the flavor and leaks out when cooking.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about fish. Although there are some farms with lower standards, in reality, there are many farms with extremely high standards that produce high quality, sustainable and healthy fish. In fact, in many cases, the farm raised fish are better than their wild counterparts. For example, wild Catfish are bottom eaters that eat just about anything. They also thrive in polluted areas. But, farm raised Catfish are raised in cleaner water, with selective floating feed. Here at Holiday, we are very careful to avoid farmed fish from the “bad farms”. For example, 70-80% of the Tilapia consumed in the USA is farmed in China. We do not carry any farmed raised fish from China. There have been many negative reports about farmed Tilapia from China. Although all farms in China are not bad, we avoid fish from China to ensure our catch is of the highest quality. Our Tilapia comes from one of the most respected farms in the industry (Rainforest Farm is Costa Rica).

On occasion we do have some whole fish, but we do not stock whole fish on a regular basis. However, we can special order any whole fish that is available and have it for you the next day.

The wild caught Salmons (King, Keta, Coho, and Sockeye) have a richer, more robust flavor and are also full of healthy Omega 3’s. The King Salmon is the mildest of the wild Salmons and has the healthiest fats. It is considered the best eating of all the wild Salmons, followed by the Sockeye (Rich flavor, leaner than other Salmons, bright red color), Coho and Keta. The farm raised Atlantic Salmons have a milder flavor, are moist and high in healthy Omega 3’s. We carry two farm raised Atlantic Salmons (Canadian and Faroe Island). These two Salmons taste fairly similar, although the Faroe is raised with a higher grade of feed which gives it even more healthy fats and a moister texture. The Faroe Salmon is a very high-end Atlantic salmon with no hormones and no antibiotics.

These delicious fish are in season fresh for only a few months. • Sockeye Salmon season: mid-to-late May to mid-September • Coho Salmon season: late-June to late-October • King Salmon season: May to October is the peak season, but it is available year round Wild caught Salmon is available all year because after the season is over we still carry Sockeye and sometimes Cohos that were previously frozen. The farm raised Salmons are available fresh year round.

We stock from 20 to 30 species of fish every day. Usually we have a few more species at the beginning of the weekend.

Yes, we not only skin fish, but cut and prepare your fish however you like it.

We carry one of the largest selections of fresh fish in Michigan. But, if we don’t have the type you are looking for, we will make every attempt to special order it for you. In most cases, if the fish is available, we can have it for you the next day. Usually, there is no minimum order required. This is on a fish-by-fish basis.

Yes, we carry a large variety of raw wild shrimp as well as farm raised shrimp. We also have our signature cooked wild Campeche Shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico, that we prepare in-house.

Beef brisket comes from a cow. Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of the beef. The beef brisket is one of the nine primal cuts.

We use a seasoned blend of cherry wood and apple wood from a local Michigan source.

A half pan, which is around 6-8 lbs. (depending on what items are in the half pans) feeds approximately 15-20 people.

All of our meats and poultry are cooked thoroughly. That being said, there’s a chemical reaction that occurs between the smoke and the meat that causes it to take on a pinkish hue. In BBQ terms, we call that the “smoke ring.” It’s not only normal, but one of the things we strive for. It happens in everything from chicken to brisket to pork, and it’s an indication of the smoky goodness.

Yes, we do. Every day you can buy our sliced or chopped brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, sliced smoked turkey breast, whole and half smoked chickens and ribs.

Yes we do, just call us at 248.541.1414 and ask for Catering. You can check out The Smokehouse menu and packages here.

Our smoked chicken wings and burnt ends are most loved by our customers.

Baby backs are usually meatier and leaner. St. Louis style ribs are fattier, so they are more flavorful and tender.

Queen Chardonnay is backed up by Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc.

Rhyming with Heritage, Red Meritage is an American blend of two or more of the red “noble” Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and the rarer St. Macaire, Gros Verdot and Carmenère. If the blend includes any other grape variety, it is, by definition, not a Meritage.

Light dry white wines, rosés, sparkling wines: Serve at 40° to 50°; Full-bodied white wines and light, fruity reds: Serve at 50° to 60° F; Full-bodied red wines and Port: Serve at 60° to 65° F.

Most wines need to be drunk the same day it is opened for optimal freshness. With a vacuum sealer, it can be kept up to a week. With exceptions to the rule being big tannin bombs like Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon or Petite Sirah.

98% of wine vinted is meant to be drank that year. The rest are meant to be aged with rule of thumb being on average 10-12 years.

Not necessarily. While lighter fish like Cod need a dry white wine, oilier fish like Salmon benefit from the firmer structure of a light red like Pinot Noir.

Around 3,500 different labels.

The king of red is still Cabernet Sauvignon with Pinot Noir, Red Zinfandel and Malbec closely following.
