The Feast of the Seven Fishes

The Feast of the Seven Fishes, or festa dei sette pesci, is an Italian-American celebration during Christmas Eve with dishes of fish and other seafood

My husband and I both grew up in Italian-American households and although we lived almost 2 hours apart in New York, we both celebrated Christmas Eve in similar ways

My Dad would always bring home cod fillets and lobster tails and my husband’s family enjoyed fried shrimp and calamari

We’ve chosen seven of our most popular fish and seafood recipes to share for this Christmas eve celebration

Clams Oreganata

Succulent clams topped with  crisp golden brown breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and herbs

Broiled Cod

Delicate flaky cod broiled with a butter, garlic, lemon  and herb sauce

Seafood Fra Diavolo

All the best flavors from the sea, lobster, shrimp and scallops cooked in a rich and slightly spicy tomato sauce  

Shrimp with Garlic Sauce (Gambas Al Ajillo)

White wine, smoky paprika and garlic make an incredibly flavourful sauce for this delicious shrimp

Stuffed Squid

Flavorful stuffed squid braised in tomato sauce until super tender

Shrimp Cocktail

Sweet, perfectly cooked and seasoned shrimp with a zesty homemade dipping sauce 

Maple, Honey & Pecan Salmon

Flaky delicious salmon glazed with maple and honey topped with crunchy pecans for some holiday flair

Happy Holidays from Simply Sundays!
