Not often I can get two of my brothers to come over at the same time. Since we're not able to be together on Christmas Eve, I decided to have the 7 fish dinner early at my house.

Buon appetito
Wow, Sal!
With a spread like that, I wonder if you could adopt me as one of your brothers?
Well done!
What kind of pasta?
Best,
Fred

Buon Natale George!
It is never just 7 fish, when my mom was with us, two of my brothers used to go to New York to shop. It took a couple of days to clean the fish they brought back. :)
Now you could find fish anywhere, mine came from Jetco, or I wouldn't be able to afford it.
Best,
Sal
Very nice Sal. Nothing like a family gathering. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
I am going to make my 81 year old mom some fried shrimp, crawfish (spiny lobster) salad, blackened Snapper and some cracked conch for her Christmas meal. Material things aren't in her playbook anymore and she appreciates a home cooked meal better than anything at this point in her life.

Way to go paisano...Buona Natale. Dominick
Lookin good Sal.
That's some great eating in the neighborhood!
Holy Cow Sal! :o
You are a true Master of all trades.
The only thing I would add is Steak.
Must have Surf and Turf. :P
Merry Christmas to You and your Brothers. ;)

Sal, You are blessed with many things in life. And cooking for your family is certainly a great way to show your love for life and your family. I wish I was on your side of the continent once in a while. Happy Holidays and thanks for the great pictures.

Neptune himself would sit down to that with a smile and licking his lips
