Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve

Also known as the Vigil, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is a Southern Italian custom in which a meal of at least seven different kinds of seafood is served before midnight on Christmas Eve. Here are some traditional, and not so traditional, ideas for your own feast.

A rimmed white plate holds brothy beans and shrimp scattered with herbs and a piece of toasted bread. — Christopher Testani for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews.
