The Feast of the seven fishes

An Italian Christmas Eve tradition, the Feast of the Seven Fishes celebrates the sea and the season with a series of beautifully prepared seafood dishes. Each course reflects the spirit of the Mediterranean — fresh, abundant, and full of life. Rooted in la vigilia, the night before Christmas, this cherished feast is a celebration of togetherness, coastal heritage, and the simple joy of sharing good food by the sea.
