Appetizers and Small Bites for the Feast of the Seven Fishes

"The first couple of dishes you serve are an opportunity to knock out a lot of the fish on the menu," Culinary Director Daniel Gritzer says, especially if you're committed to serving seven kinds of seafood. Don't fret too much about making everything from scratch—this is the perfect time to pull out some of the high-quality tinned seafood you've been saving for something special. And if you aren't limiting yourself to serving strictly Italian or Italian-American dishes, shrimp cocktail or oysters on the half-shell are quick and easy to put together. Here are a few of our suggestions for appetizers and salads to get your feast started. Get the recipes
