It's a tradition for us. The same type of tradition holds for Chef Marc Bianchini of Osteria del Mondo. Bianchini admits a weakness for seafood, particularly for his family's crab sauce with spaghetti. I love the taste of it, but it also reminds me of my family. The recipe has great sentimental value as well.
Good seafood is yummy.
People who don't like seafood always say it smells fishy, but good seafood doesn't. My mom was a very good cook, and she understood the balance of starch, protein and vegetable long before it was a trend. One of Moran's favorite holiday recipes is a family tradition. I've made it for years, even for some members of the club. But at home, our comfort food is a meal of spaghetti, chopped cooked eggs, fresh olive oil, cooked peas, fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese.
