Fresh sea food is a 1637 oil by Adriaen van Utrecht, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting is a still life of fresh seafood. The scene is set on a table, with a variety of fish and other seafood arranged in a decorative pattern. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. In the foreground, a large fish takes center stage, surrounded by smaller fish and other seafood. The arrangement is carefully composed, with each item placed to create a sense of balance and harmony. The overall effect is one of abundance and plenty.
