[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us, Christmas Eve is always Feast of the Seven Fishes, a popular Italian American tradition for xmas eve.

We will usually have 1 main "cooked" dish, like cioppino or linguine with clam sauce, which can be made in advance. Everything else is from the market, including cracked crab, chilled shrimp, smoked salmon, crab cakes, caviar.

It feels very festive.

You do 7 different dishes!

We put shrimp, calamari, clams, mussels and scallops in our pasta.

That’s 5

Crab dip and smoked salmon as app.[/quote]

We did a traditional Italian meal growing up, but it was squid in tomato sauce with pasta. Man it smelled. [/quote]
The seven fishes thing must be an East Coast Italian American tradition. I am Italian-American from the Midwest and I had never heard of it. We are Sicilian and we have spiedinis, which are truly the most delicious thing on Earth. [/quote]
