Granpa loved to cook Christmas Eve dinner. He learned from his mother Concetta.
One tradition that Adolph kept in the family after his mother passed away was the Christmas Eve Seafood dinner meal.
When one daughter could not attend on Christmas Eve, we would have it the weekend before Christmas.
Eventually both daughters could not attend so Adolph would make a shorten version for the two of us.
Remembering the good food he made I thought I would repost some of his favourite dishes.
CHRISTMAS SEAFOOD APPETIZER OR AS ADOLPH WOULD CALL IT SEAFOOD SALAD
A variety of precooked seafood like shrimps, calamari, scallops make for a tasty dish. Or a bag of seafood medley mix. You can add any seafood you prefer.
A large piece of celery.
Chop up into small celery pieces.
Two buds of garlic finely chopped.
One or Two tablespoons of olive oil
Add freshly squeezed lemon juice or use bottled lemon juice. As much as desired.
Salt and pepper to taste. Let it marinade for several hours in the fridge for the pieces to absorb the lemon taste as well as the other ingredients.
Great as a first course to the 7 fishes of Christmas Eve.
