What's notable about the fish spread? Is it smoky, tangy, spicy? I've seen plant-based tuna at grocery outlet, could be worth experimenting with that.
Mom seemed to just love Shrimp in general, though judging by her tastes, I imagine Shrimp and grits would be a favorite. Dad just loved lobster and butter (he’s NOT a condiment person.) As for the fish spread, this video shows how it’s made (starts at around the 3:00 mark.)
