and baby makes 6!

The Feast of the 7 Fishes

It is 8pm, and our bellies are full.  We made it through 5 of the fishes, and were too full for 6 and 7!  The scallops and shrimp will have to wait until Tuesday night.

I loved this day.  I started cooking at around 2pm and we nibbled antipasto until around 7pm.  The food was very easy to prepare. The key is just cook enough for everyone to have a few bites.  Even doing this, we filled up fast.

Mia and Cody REALLY enjoyed this dish, cancha tell?

 

Actually, they ate it up.  It was the most flavor packed, tender fish I have ever had.  Oregano, garlic, sea salt, cracked pepper, a slice of lime and olive oil on top of the fish, and then all closed up in a tent of foil and cooked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Raw oysters (Bill also fried some)

Now, off to bed or Santa won’t come!

Happy Christmas Eve to everyone!
