Seven Fishes

babe2331

Anyone attending one/making one?  What do you typically have?  Since I am preggo, any ideas on what I can actually eat/make (that's simple) would be appreciated.  I look forward to this every year, but I think I may be stuck eating chicken parm with all of the non-fish eaters   I haven't eaten any sort of fish since I've been preggo.

haha - see my post below!

I was asking because I ate everything last year with the ok from my OB.

I make cioppino instead of seven individual courses.  My mommom used to do the seven preparations but she got tired of all the work, so she decided one year that she would throw it all in a pot of gravy and serve over linguine.  We've never gone back.

My cioppino has shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, crab, and monkfish.  I also make breaded fried tilapia.  We do shrimp cocktail and clams casino as apps.

i may not be the best example but for all three pregnancies i followed the motto of everything in moderation. I ate seafood that was cooked, nothing raw but I certainly did not avoid it especially xmas eve. If you want something that is easy to make and not high in mercury levels how about linguini and clams, still seafood but pasta is the filler.

my family does this, my Gram always made the big feast but now that she has passed we go to my MIL's. She does seafood but I dont think there will be seven, but there will be three or five, must be an odd number
