This is one of many signature dishes served by Mama Grande during our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. The first course was always Aglio e Olio, followed by many other types of seafood. There were always several types of bacala (dried, salted, codfish), as well as clams, shrimp, calamari (squid) and eel.
This was my favorite!
