Celebrate Christmas Eve the Italian way with these 22 recipes for Seafood Frenzy Friday: Christmas Eve Edition.
My family heritage is Italian on my father’s side and a mixture of French Canadian, Irish, Scottish and Iroquois Indian on my mother’s side. Being half Italian you would think that I would enjoy the traditional meal served on Christmas Eve; “Night of the 7 Fishes”, but alas, I don’t eat seafood.
Nor does my father, so it wasn’t something I was even introduced to when I was a child. Just because I don’t eat seafood, doesn’t mean I don’t know a good looking dish when I see one.
I started Seafood Frenzy Friday several years ago and don’t compile these roundups as often as I used to, but please check out the Seafood Category under the Recipe Index where you will see over 65 seafood recipe roundups for you to peruse through (that’s over 6500 recipes!).

What do you eat for Christmas Eve?
We eat too much. My hubby’s family does the seven fishes. My family never followed that tradition.
