Ocean Fish Three Square's Tray

Good company often begins with a few small things brought to the table. This Ocean Fish tray gives three of them their own place, with a trio of square sections decorated in flowing shades of blue. The warm toned surround and clean, elongated shape make it an inviting piece for sharing, while the fish motif adds a quiet sense of fun.

At Spanish Pig, we would fill it with a mix of olives, Marcona almonds and pickled peppers for the start of an aperitivo. Try three conservas alongside bread on a separate board, or use the sections for aioli, romesco and a lemony dressing when seafood is on the menu. It makes setting out small bites feel considered without turning a casual gathering into a formal affair. Even between meals, the tray looks lovely on a kitchen counter or open shelf, where its blue and white design can be enjoyed every day.

From Shoeless Joe, an English design company, this is the sort of tabletop piece that earns its place in a home through both usefulness and character. Pair it with the Ocean Fish dip bowl and platter if you enjoy a coordinated table, or let it stand alone among your favourite ceramics. It makes a lovely gift for anyone who likes hosting friends around good food.
