    I love that you give the history behind this! I'm Catholic but not Italian so I was unfamiliar with this tradition! For our Christmas Eve, we went to the Christmas Vigil Mass and got back home around 10pm. Usually it was just sandwiches for a late dinner. Then Christmas day was the prime rib dinner!

    • @susanalberts776

    • @Elektero
      @Elektero Před rokem +2

      that's the tradition also in some areas in the south of Italy. The big fish dinner at the eve is more from Neapolitan tradition and as well in central italy

    • @annemary9680
      @annemary9680 Před rokem +1

      Interesting. Traditionally Christmas Eve was always a day of fasting and penance and abstinence from meat. The latter aspect sounds like where the 7 fishes thing comes from.

    • @pinky6789
      @pinky6789 Před rokem

      I'm Italian born and raised in northern Italy, I've never heard such thing as ''the feast of seven fishes''. It's definetely not an Italian tradition, it's just regional.

    I come from a Sicilian American family but I didn’t actually grow up around them so I didn’t get to celebrate growing up. Now that I have my own kids, I’ve been trying to incorporate Italian traditions into our holidays. I love that you talk about the history of the celebration. Happy Holidays🎄

    This is the greatest cooking video of all times for me. I don't think I could do all of this all at once in my tiny kitchen as a student but it's wild how much you taught me about sea food in less than 30 mins! One day I will throw this feast and invite over my best friends!

  • @Valerie-rv2ws
    @Valerie-rv2ws Před rokem +2

    thank you this wonderful video. as a jewish person who keeps kosher i can eat most of these dishes. branzino is a kosher fish. the antipasti is elegant
    and looks delicious. salmon and tuna are kosher fishes. the clams, mussels, scallops, and shrimp are not kosher. however i can use kosher shrimp
    ( whitefish shaped and spiced to taste like shrimp- dyna-sea brand with kosher authorization symbol) with a passata for that dish too. good explanation on pot/pan handles. before the inquisition southern italy had many italians who were jews, they were there there since 70 a.d. rabbi barbara aiello has a very interesting video about that. i will look for more of your recipes and forward your videos to friends. your channel is definitely not just another cooking show. it is a very special one. buon natale!

  • @DadGotThis

    My mother and grandma did the feast of the 7 fishes every year when I was a kid. Now that they are gone the tradition ended. This is an amazing twist on it that sounds delicious. Great job and thanks for the great content.

  • @carloscamacho2057
    @carloscamacho2057 Před rokem +1

    You definitely have to visit Mexico. I have seen many videos of yours and I have noticed that your cooking style is very focused on Italian and homemade. The essence of Mexican gastronomy is found precisely in the homemade, and I am a believer that Mexicans and Italians have many cultural and social similarities that have a strong impact on our gastronomy. If you visit Oaxaca or Yucatán I can assure you by putting my hands on fire that whatever you eat you will end up loving it. I hope you read my comment.

    So so fantastic! I grew up with Christmas Eve being bigger than The Christmas Day celebration. The Feast of the Seven Fishes has been part of my youth, and life. I love your spin, modern and playful. That main tho... That salt baked branzino! Excellent! I learned that years ago from Chef Pasternack at Esca! He used to serve it table side in a wood shipping crate, and clean it in front of the guests! Wonderful episode Stephen. Merry Christmas sir!

  • @anthonycalia1317
    @anthonycalia1317 Před rokem +7

    Masterful! As a New York Italian, I too was not brought up with the notion that seven fishes were part of Christmas Eve. in reality, we probably had more than seven, but never was there a mention of 'seven.' I loved the comment about cheese on fish sauce. Cheese goes perfectly with seafood sauce and anyone who subscribes to the taboo of not eating cheese with fish really knows nothing about cooking or eating..

    Excellent recipes. I always stuff a filet of sole with crabmeat ( 2 fishes) and I make a pasta with muscles, clams, and scallop. (3 fishes). I do a shrimp cocktail and stuffed calamari appetizer (2 fishes) . This year I’m going to make your pasta. Looks super delicious

    This was not only educational (Italian tradition), but inspirational as well. Well done vid.
    One of our traditions on Christmas eve is meat pie. Not tourtiere like other Canadian provinces, but braised beef/pork/chicken in a flaky crust. Seafood chowder for Christmas day lunch includes: scallops, mussels, salmon, shrimp, lobster in a rich creamy broth.

    The Feast of Seven Fishes was the highlight of the Christmas celebration in my family when I was a kid. It was always at Grandma and Grandpa Caruso’s house. We would feast before Midnight Mass which would put us kids into a food coma so sitting still during church was never an issue. Staying awake was. After mass we were dumped back into the station wagon and hauled home where my dad would carry us to bed. The next morning we would open presents and would then do Christmas dinner at whichever Aunt and Uncles house that was hosting it that year. This meal was potluck unlike the Feast which my Grandma made with the help of my spinster aunt, Josie. We were allowed to have wine with the Feast, Chianti that my grandfather made from grapes he grew himself. I used to do this same tradition with my kids but unfortunately it died out as they grew up. Now I live far from the kids. I moved to Texas to get away from the nasty cold weather of Michigan a few years ago. I still make some things from my Italian childhood, Canoli and Bisc Dolce as well as a few other traditional dishes, but I do miss seeing all my cousins, aunts and Uncles. Most of them are gone now but not forgotten

    Looks like a great menu! Definitely use egg whites in the salt crust. As they cook, the salt becomes a shell which stays in bigger pieces. It makes it way easier to get off without getting salt on everything.

    My great grandmother was Irish but she married my great grandfather, a Scicilian guy. She decided to convert to Catholicism for him and learned how to cook from his mother, so we always ate good ass Italian food growing up. Once I got old enough to really remember, my great Grandma was too old to be cooking all the time, but she always talked about the "7 fishes" and how good it was.
