American families on Christmas Eve, as well as Italian-American clubs and organizations.
Continuing its tradition, the Americans of Italian Heritage Council Inc. hosted its 10th annual Feast of Seven Fishes on Nov. 30 at Presidential Caterers Wedding & Event Venue in Norristown, Pa.
More than 75 attendees enjoyed delicious antipasti, followed by a feast that included calamari, flounder stuffed with crabmeat,
clams and mussels scampi, lobster ravioli, and, of course, baccalà, along with Italian wine, beer and tiramisu.
“We wanted to continue this tradition among our membership, and the event has become a welcome addition to everyone’s calendar this time of the year,” said Al DeGennaro, president of the organization. IAH
