A feast for Christmas Eve: Nima Safaei's swordfish and seafood linguine

In southern Italy, the celebration of Christmas Eve is marked by the tradition of La Vigilia (the Vigil). Many observe the religious custom of avoiding meat on the holy evening and indulge in a meal rich in seafood to mark it. This speciality dish of seafood linguine, enhanced with swordfish, is perfect for the occasion.

Seafood linguine is an absolute favourite dish served at my restaurants 40 Dean Street and 64 Old Compton Street; it’s a celebration of the sea and the wonderful things it provides.
