Feast 2012

Each Christmas my family hosts a feast of the seven fishes. A Roman Catholic tradition, the meal is typically meatless and served Christmas Eve. It's bad luck to serve an even number of fish, so even if you can't pull off seven, three or five will keep you in God's favor.

To learn more about the feast check out Maria Vultaggio's article here about this holiday before the holiday.

Our 2012 menu:
Grilled shrimp
Smoked salmon and cream cheese bruschetta
Mussels in white whine and lemon sauce
Baccala cakes with sage aoli
Oi oi (spaghetti with garlic and anchovies)
Lobster ravioli with Christopher sauce
Shrimp and lobster risotto
