Seafood Pescatore

Christmas Eve dinner is an unusually small affair at the Davis house this year.  There might only be three of us but that certainly won't stop us from enjoying our feast of the Seven Fishes tonight.  🐟

My goal was to try and simplify our Christmas Even meal so that we weren't stuck eating the leftovers for a solid week. 😅It's actually more challenging than I thought to plan a meal incorporating seven different types of fish for only three people.  Anyone ever try and purchase 6 clams, 6 scallops, 6 mussels, 6 shrimp, 1 salmon filet, 1 tuna steak, 2 squid tubes and 1 lobster tail from the grocery store?  More importantly, anyone know how to cook all of that in under 4 hours?  🤷🏻‍♀️


​One year, I put all seven fishes into a pot and made a modified fish chowder.  I don't know if I would go so far as to call it a cioppino - but it was a variation of that.  This year, I wanted to go another way.  I had two ideas - Put all the seafood into one pot and create an amazing pasta dish OR throw it on a homemade crust to make a giant seafood pizza.

As you can probably deduce from the pictures, I went with the first option.  I put 6 different types of seafood into one amazing pasta dish.  It was so hearty and delicious AND it didn't take all afternoon to prepare.  I had it ready to serve in under an hour.  As for the final fish - we had clam chowder for an appetizer.
