FISH SANDWICH WITH FRA DIAVOLO MAYONNAISE
Steps:
- For the fra diavolo mayonnaise: Bring the lobster stock to a boil in a large saute pan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until very thick and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Remove to a bowl and refrigerate until slightly cool, about 15 minutes.
- While the stock is reducing, combine the tomatoes and tomato paste in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Remove to a bowl and refrigerate until slightly cool, about 15 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat, add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Combine the mayonnaise and lobster in a medium bowl, add the reduced lobster stock and tomato puree and mix until combined. Use a slotted spoon to remove the garlic and red pepper mixture from the oil and add the oil to the mayonnaise mixture. Add the oregano and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the quick-pickled Fresno chiles: Combine the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar and salt are dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Put the chiles in a small heatproof bowl, pour the vinegar mixture over and set the bowl over an ice bath to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- For the basil slaw: Combine the red and green cabbages, basil, onion and lemon zest in a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon and whole-grain mustards and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the canola oil until emulsified. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss well to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature while you make the fish. (Alternatively, prepare the slaw up to 8 hours in advance, cover and refrigerate.)
- For the fish: Put the canola oil in a large Dutch oven or deep fryer and heat over low heat until it measures 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Combine the Panko, plain breadcrumbs and cornmeal in a third shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets in the flour and tap off the excess, dredge in the egg mixture and let any excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture and tap off the excess.
- Fry the fish in batches until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt.
- To serve: Spread both sides of the rolls with some Fra Diavolo mayonnaise and top with a fish fillet, some coleslaw and pickled Fresnos.
7 FISHES FRA DIAVOLO PASTA
Nothing says Christmas Eve to me like the Feast of the Seven Fishes. This Italian-American tradition is something I look forward to every year because it means that all of my family gathers around one table to crack shellfish, drink wine and laugh until Santa comes to town. My Nonna Marianna would spend days preparing for this meal, all the while teaching me to make her shellfish pasta, olive salads with calamari, stuffed squid, fried fish, and baccala folded into creamy risotto. While all of these dishes are incredible, I wanted to create a scaled-down version of this meal that still honors the Seven Fishes tradition. My family loves to spice it up, hence the inclusion of crushed red pepper to make this fra diavolo in style. Feel free to mix up the seafood to your family's favorites!

Steps:
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and heat until fragrant. Pour in the panko and shake into an even layer. Sprinkle in the lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape the breadcrumbs into a bowl. Stir in the parsley and set aside for plating. Reserve the skillet.
- While the breadcrumbs are cooking, place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and heat until fragrant. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the anchovy paste and fry, stirring, for 1 minute more. Increase the heat to medium high. Add 1 cup of the white wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the clams, cover and steam for 2 minutes. Add the mussels, cover again and steam just until the shellfish open, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the cooked shellfish to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside for plating. Reduce the heat to medium and add the tomato puree to the pan. Use the remaining 1/4 cup white wine to swish around any tomato puree clinging to the can (just like Nonna would). Add it to the sauce, along with the dried oregano. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions for al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, sprinkle salt and black pepper on all sides of the scallops, shrimp and halibut. Place the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the halibut and scallops, spacing them apart (so they sear, rather than steam). Cook, without disturbing, until deeply golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the scallops and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove to a plate and set aside. Flip the halibut and cook until seared on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp to the skillet, spacing them around the halibut, and cook until the shrimp are opaque and lightly seared, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lemon juice over the shrimp and halibut. Remove to the plate and set aside.
- To finish the sauce, add the calamari and simmer for 1 minute over medium heat. Lift the pasta with tongs from the boiling water into the sauce. Toss until evenly coated. Add the cooked shellfish and any liquid that collected in the bowl. Toss to thoroughly combine.
- To serve, plate the pasta first. Sprinkle generously with the breadcrumbs. Top with the seared scallops, shrimp and halibut. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine onion, pickles, and pickle brine in a small bowl.
- Mix mayonnaise, dill, hot sauce, pepper, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in another small bowl.
- Place eggs, panko, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls. Season each fish fillet with 1/2 tsp. salt. Working one at a time, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat evenly with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook fish until breading is golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate. Season fillets with 1/2 tsp. salt total.
- Spread 1 heaping Tbsp. mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Pile each bottom slice with 3/4 cup lettuce, 1 fish fillet, a small handful of potato chips, and 1/4 cup onion mixture. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, mayo side down, and push down lightly to crush potato chips. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve with lemon wedges and more potato chips alongside.
- Do Ahead: Pickled onions and dill sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish. A firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia works best for this sandwich. Avoid fish that are too delicate, as they will fall apart when cooked.
- Make sure the fish is cooked through. The fish should be cooked until it flakes easily with a fork. If the fish is undercooked, it will be mushy and difficult to eat.
- Use a good-quality bun. A sturdy bun will help to hold the sandwich together. Avoid buns that are too soft or crumbly.
- Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for fish sandwiches include lettuce, tomato, onion, and tartar sauce. You can also get creative and add other toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or cheese.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. Fish sandwiches are best served hot and fresh. If you are making the sandwiches ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator and reheat them before serving.
