My family celebrates the Feast of the Seven Fishes, which is only done on Christmas Eve. It's a collection of 7 different seafood dishes in preparation of the birth of Jesus. Supposed to be a meatless meal as purification of the body. The 7 relates to the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. Our traditional menu is as follows:
Stuffed Calimari in Tomato Sauce
Fried Smelt
Oyster Shooters
Deep Fried Breaded Oysters
Deep Fried Fish/Shrimp
Linquine with Clam Sauce
Marinated Eel
Baccala
Whiting
And to top it off we have tiramasu for dessert.

We always serve alcohol free bubbly fruit juice in our nice wine glasses on Christmas Eve. It is a tradition that the kids look forward to.
