- Comments: This dish is a prerequisite for any serious attempt at a traditional Italian Christmas Eve table. Even my most squeamish friends admit to liking this dish once I've tricked them into tasting it. If you have a hard time finding eel at your fancy fishmonger, try Asian markets, where eel is considered a delicacy all year long. Have your fishmonger peel the eel.
