Merry Christmas, everyone! For Christmas Eve dinner in my family, we celebrate with a Feast of Seven Fishes, as the Italians of Southern Italy<\/a>. This year, we had squid, crab, lobster, scallops, shrimp, mussels, and clams. We steam the clams and mussels, and use the crab, lobster, and squid to make a sauce. Then, we deep fried the scallops and the shrimp (as well as having shrimp cocktail and lemon and garlic shrimp.) We served it all up with lemon broccoli and a big salad – and rolls, too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are the shrimp, ready to be battered and deep fried!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the shrimp and the scallops, ready to go into the deep fryer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the delicious scallops!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We use peanut oil to make these suckers – it’s more expense, but worth the splurge for Christmas Eve!<\/p>\n

Nikki, attempting to steal a shrimp…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, the final product!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the mussels and clams – steamed. Tip on steaming clams\/mussels\/shellfish – any that are open when you start, toss – these are dead. Any that don’t open whilst steaming, or those with broken shells, toss – these could be bad too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the seafood sauce with our pasta!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is the squid – my favorite part!<\/p>\n
