Do Christmas Eve Italian-Style: Celebrate with a Feast of the Seven Fishes
Forget turkey and Christmas ham. Do the holiday the Italian way with fish, fish, and more fish. On Christmas Eve, Italian Americans celebrate with the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Tomorrow night, Saul is hosting a Feast, as is Patsy's.

Saul's $80 Feast menu features squid ink spaghetti with sea urchin and tomato emulsion, Maine diver scallop sopressata with white beans, ravioli di porcini, and risotto a la Milanaise. Patsy's $59.95 prix-fixe menu includes a choice of calamari or baccala salad, a half-order of linguini with frutti di mare sauce, and a choice of shrimp scampi, stuffed calamari, shrimp fra diavolo, or tilapia Livornese. For dessert, it's the house strufoli (honey balls) or biscotti.
