Zuppa de Pesce in White Wine: Foodie Friday

Zuppa de Pesce White Wine

When I was a kid hanging out in the neighborhood my friends and I would call our moms to find out what they were making for dinner. Whoever was having "the best dinner" would have to call her mom back and see if the rest of us could join them. One day my mom said we were having spaghetti for dinner. Everyone agreed that they wanted to eat at my house. I knew my mom had enough food for 3 extra kids because as an Italian-American my mom always cooked enough food for an extra family of 6 to stop by...no problem.
When we sat down to eat and my friends saw my family members raising forks of squid tentacles and clam bellies into their mouth... they screamed and ran out of the house. My mom looked at me and said,
"Doesn't everyone put calamari in their spaghetti?"
Guess not, but we do... and so this pasta dish which contains any seafood you would like in it... I put mussels, squid, and shrimp...concludes our Feast of the Seven Fish. I went over by one fish, we cooked 8 instead of 7,... but that is OK, more is always OK with Italians.
