A good recipe for Sette Pesci Christmas Eve Dinner | Print |

A new recipe for Baccala alla Marinara (cod fish marinara-style) has been added that would be perfect for the traditional 7-fish Christmas Eve dinner.

Pictured below are some images from a 7-fish Christmas Eve Italian dinner, or the famous "festa dei sette pesci." This is moreso a tradition in central and southern Italy and is actually not as popular as it has been in the past.

  • The days of the week
  • The number of sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church
