Feast of the Seven Fishes

<p class=ql-align-justify>Each year on Christmas Eve Italian American families gather to celebrate the <strong>Feast of the Seven Fishes</strong> - a grand marathon of a meal comprised of multiple courses of seafood served over several hours. It is a celebration of food with strange sea creatures such as<em> baccal��</em> (salt cod) <em>capitone</em> (eel) and <em>scungilli </em>(sea snail) making their annual appearance at the dining table. It is a celebration of tradition with recipes and cooking methods handed down from one generation to the next. But most importantly it is a celebration of love and being together with family. It is a cherished event for many Italian Americans full of the warmth and joy that comes from being surrounded by family on Christmas Eve while dining on a bounty of delectable fish dishes which - like Santa Claus - comes just once a year.</p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>This book describes the rich history of the Feast of the Seven Fishes and provides 30 detailed recipes for preparing the Feast along with illustrations and full color pictures.</p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify> A book for anyone who loves seafood cooking and holiday celebrations.</p><p><br></p>
