The Feast of the Seven Fishes 2020

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

Crab Cakes

Delicate and sweet lump crab meat mixed with herbs, scallions, garlic, lemon zest and just enough fillers to bind them, then cooked until golden brown

Linguine & Clam Sauce

A briny garlic and wine sauce, tender delicious clams served over linguine with fresh herbs make the perfect dish

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  

Stuffed Squid

Flavorful stuffed squid braised in tomato sauce until super tender

Flounder Florentine

This is a lightened up version of a classic fish dish.  Light and flaky flounder with colorful red bell peppers and spinach baked in a cream sauce
