LOL!
Help!
My goofy family wants to have FISH for Christmas Dinner. Beau caught some really LOVELY Halibut in Alaska this summer and they’re all anxious to have that on Christmas at our house.
So...I was thinking of doing a knock-off of the traditional Italian (we’re NOT Italian, LOL!) ‘Feast of the Seven Fishes’ with some substitutions.

Acciughe Marinate alla Ligure (Marinated Anchovies)
Brodetto di Branzino (Wild Sea Bass Soup)
Crudo di Pesce (Fish Tartare)
Paccheri con Sugo di Mare (Seafood Pasta)
Pesce al Forno (Baked Fish)
Pesce alla Griglia (Grilled Fish)
Pesce in Umido (Fish with Roasted Fennel and Taggiasca Olives)
How about something along these lines:
Shrimp Cocktail
Salmon Salad or a Smoked Salmon plate (served w/crackers)
Clam Chowder
Baked Halibut
Shrimp Scampi
Baked Potatoes or a Potato Gratin Dish
What light dessert would go good with this? Lime Jello in one of those old fish-shaped molds? LOL!
I’m not beyond doing something silly, and they would love it.
All ideas welcome!
