My parents started a New Year’s Eve tradition when I was younger that I have done my best to continue with my family. While it has not always been monetarily possible (it can be an expensive evening depending on how many you are feeding) we do our best to make at least one or two of the following each year.
Mom and Dad always did a seafood fest for New Year’s Eve. We would have baked haddock dipped in creamy, melted butter (tastes just like lobster) along with steamed clams, fried shrimp, and plenty of different dips and chips and a variety of cheeses (mom and I both loved cheese platters of any kind) and of course, Mom’s infamous Vodka Slush for the adults and sparkling cider for us kids to drink when the ball dropped at midnight in Times Square. We always gathered around the television and welcomed in the New Year with Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
Today I’m sharing Mom’s baked haddock recipe with you. I would love to hear what your family tradition is to ring in the new and say goodbye to the old! Leave a comment below and let us know how you celebrate New Year’s Eve!
