When my grandmothers were alive, we always had the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. I never knew the tradition. It was just something we did but no one ever explained why, and since all four of my grandparents were Italian peasants I doubt they knew the reason behind the tradition. Now when my siblings and father get together on Christmas Eve, we try to have seven differnt kinds of seafood. My mother used to make baccala and smelts. My paternal grandmother owned an Italian-American grocery and she had dried cod hanging from the ceiling. These are all nice memories for me.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-50005905668033944052011-12-10T16:29:30.400-05:002011-12-10T16:29:30.400-05:00Thank you Ann for sharing this tradition.

But the members of my extended Italian family love it. For our family, Christmas eve is much more important than Christmas day.R.

While everyone enjoyed fish, I got to eat fishsticks, lol. I have never liked the smell or taste of fish. I only eat fishsticks and tuna. Some Italian, right?
