My father's wife is of Italian descent, and we go to their house on Christmas Eve. Here's what they serve:

Coquilles St. Jacques
Allia e Olio with Shrimp
Clams Casino (I make them)
Steamed lobsters
Steamed King crab legs
Baccala (similar to your recipe)
Fillet of Sole cooked over escarole and cannelini beans

Also, we have stuffed artichokes (I make those, too), fried artichoke hearts, an antipasto the approximate size of Toledo, and (God only knows why we need it) meatless lasagna.

And then come the desserts, which consist of assorted Italian pastries (store bought), Mrs. Prindable's caramel and toffee covered apples, and my own collection of Christmas cookies -- gingerbread men, raspberry and apricot shortbreads, cranberry-orange pinwheels, rum balls, and my personal favorite...a little something called Delectibites. I can send you the recipe for the Delectibites if you'd like. They are especially good with strong coffee.
