Seven Fishes a day early at Amis

POSTED: Wednesday, December 21, 2011, 3:05 PM

"We're pumped about the seven fishes," chef Brad Spence tells Meal Ticket. This Friday, Dec. 23, at Amis (412 S. 13th St.), he's cooking baccala, monkfish, eel and more aquatic creatures for the classic Italian-American repast. "This is the second year we’re doing it. It's become a huge hit." Spence didn't grow up feasting on flounder on Dec. 24, "but now my Irish-rooted family won't have Christmas Eve any other way." The four-course dinner, which features dishes like housemade squid ink linguine (above), is $65 per person, and we’ve got the full menu after the jump.
