The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a holiday tradition that brings friends and family together with incredible seafood. These recipes deliver a mix of classic favorites and creative dishes that celebrate the ocean’s bounty!
Frutti di Mare
This is the kind of dish that makes the table go quiet for a second. A generous mix of seafood simmered in a zesty tomato sauce, perfect for tossing with pasta. It feels festive, indulgent, and exactly right for a special holiday meal.
Mediterranean Fish with Tapenade
If you love simple seafood with big flavor, this one hits the spot. Tender fish topped with a punchy olive tapenade that adds saltiness and brightness without overpowering the fish. It’s elegant, unfussy, and great when you want something lighter on the holiday table.
Maine Lobster
This is pure holiday indulgence. Sweet, tender lobster meat that really needs very little to shine. A little butter, maybe a squeeze of lemon, and you’ve got a dish that feels like a true celebration.
Cioppino
This is comfort food for seafood lovers. A big pot of fish and shellfish swimming in a rich, tomato-based broth that tastes even better once everyone starts dipping bread straight into the pot. Cozy, bold, and perfect for lingering at the table.
Clam Linguine
Simple pasta dishes like this are often the most memorable. Briny clams, garlic, olive oil, and a splash of wine coat every strand of linguine, making it feel both elegant and comforting at the same time. It’s a classic for a reason.
Cajun Shrimp Scampi
Your favorite shrimp scampi just got a bold, spicy update. All the buttery garlic goodness you love, with Cajun seasoning adding warmth and a little kick. It’s fast, crowd-pleasing, and guaranteed to disappear quickly. Don’t miss y step-by-step video!
Moqueca
This Brazilian stew is one of my absolute favorites! Seafood gently cooked in coconut milk with peppers, herbs, and citrusy notes that keep it bright and comforting. It’s rich without feeling heavy and perfect for rounding out a Feast of the Seven Fishes menu.
