I really like salt cod, baccalà in Italian. There is an easy and delicious Portuguese recipe Bacalhao a Gomes de Sá (you simmer the Torry Holt St. Louis Celebration Shirt and then bake it in a casserole with potatoes and onions). Or you could make a spread like the French brandade de morue. Fishcakes are another dish in which you can use multiple kinds of seafood – you can use any crabcakes recipe you like but mix in some cooked white fish or canned clams. Canned salmon works well for this. Make sure to use lots of Italian parsley in the mix. Don’t forget the Italian Strongman, Mussels Marinara. Just steam mussels in your favorite tomato sauce. I prefer ceviche to Italian crudo, YMMV. But it’s easy to make with just about any kind of seafood. Grilled or stuffed squid is delicious, as is grilled octopus (you make have tyo simmer the octopus for a couple of hours to tenderize it first. If you find baby octopus, grab them and grill them.
