My Fortieth - Feast of the Seven Fishes for Christmas
Eve
1 unit lobster
or
1 unit white fish
use bisque or chowder base
If you ever get a chance to go to a Feast of Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve - DO IT! In the Boston area, this is a pretty common holiday. However, it wasn't until my wife and I moved to Rhode Island that we got invited to a gift from heaven feast. The Italians in RI know seafood. It would be a shame for someone to miss this feast because they couldn't chew food.
The key is to make small batches (less than a cup) and wash the blender out immediately after blending. Remember you may be making 7 cups of dishes, and the blender dries out quicker than you think, because you should enjoy the party too.
LOBSTER
Lobster linguine can easily be
pureed into a Lobster Bisque. I like to add a little extra butter . . .
it's Christmas, add the extra butter. I'm not against adding a little
white wine.
BAKED COD
Baked Cod can easily be turned
into a fish chowder by adding cream, and either pasta or potatoes (depending on
what you have already cooked.
DEEP FRIED CALAMARI
Fried dishes were well
pureed. You just have to add liquid, and puree a lot longer because squid
and octopus are very firm.
Remember the key is to think about inclusion as you make each dish. For every fish, there is a soup alternative.
