I ordered one of those weekender brunch kits from Goldbelly for the long weekend/as a early birthday treat for Matt from a smokery in Washington state. It was bake your own bagels and sliders with lox, smoked salmon cream cheese, Dungeness crab and a red king crab spread. We were excited because we don’t get Dungeness or red king crab here.

It arrived this morning and the bagels/rolls seem fine but they substituted every seafood item in the kit for something similar but not quite right. We got crab dip instead of crab meat, salmon mousse instead of salmon cream cheese and smoked salmon instead of lox.

About half of the items were not even the same brand we ordered from. Even the butter wasn’t from the creamery listed. Goldbelly is giving us a credit and said they contacted them to see what happened. The other option was getting it sent again but I don’t feel confident that they will actually send the right stuff and I don’t want to deal with that. Nothing but the baked goods was correct.

We can still eat it (I’m assuming, it’s still frozen) but I had to go buy cream cheese for the bagels and I don’t know if the dip would work on a sandwich.

For lunch we had salmon and coconut rice from the meal prep place and leftover cucumber salad. It wasn’t bad! I find the meals they sell without a vegetable a little strange, the portions are generally smaller too. Which is okay for lunch but makes for a skimpy dinner! If I wanted to cook a side, I’d probably just make the whole meal myself. They don’t sell a ton of sides so I don’t think it’s a way to make people to spread more or anything like that.

Since the SeaBear Goldbelly box was supposed to be basically all of our meals this weekend and now I’m not sure if that’s going to work, we ended up getting Greek food and saving the food I planned to make tonight for Sunday when nothing is open. I can’t go to a third grocery store this week.
