Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, my favorite holiday of the year. It's the day I host The Feast of the Seven Fishes, the traditional Italian meal featuring at least seven different types of fish. I always prepare more than seven, because I can't help myself. Go big or go home, as they say. This year, I'll top out at 10.
I like to switch things up, so the menu changes from year to year. Here's the menu for Christmas Eve 2008:
Cold Appetizers
Cheese & Crackers
Fresh Mozzarella w/Tomato & Basil
Shrimp Cocktail
Lobster pate
Salmon mousse
Baccala salad
Anchovies marinated in garlic & olive oil

My father has had a tradition for years - seafood on Christmas Eve! I can't wait! It's going to be great.
I wish you a very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Chief!
