We still celebrate Vigilia di magro (abstinence from meat) here, and had over the years to meet the seven fish tradition served baccala several ways, anchovies usually in salads, shrimp dishes, clams mussels and sea scallops in a variety of ways, calamari ( stuffed or sautee) capitone alla (eel) but only once to please my father, smelt, haddock, cod oglio e olio, pasta primevera, cheese raivoli, gnocchi and my wife would kick in her perogi (one of my mothers favorites) various desserts and cookies .
Buon Natali!
P.S. Perhaps someone can extend our repertorie for this year's celebration?
