7 Seafood Dishes Fit For A Feast

[@ronainslie1986]

Having watched you for the past years I remain undecided whether you are entertainingly humorous or wildly hilarious. Betting your old school teachers could set me straight. You have obviously learned the valuable art of being you. This being well done (which is rare)!

[@batman1169]

Comedy hour for sure! Never a dull moment that’s for sure.

[@BelAge]

You're the best with the tongue in cheek delivery, the clear explanations and the clear visuals. Your videos are so helpful and you deserve all the success you get!

[@stunnedbunny7089]

Perfect timing for my search for ideas for out Feast of 7 Fishes (Christmas Eve Dinner)! thank you so much for this!

[@antonboludo8886]

Yes, in some countries carp is the traditional Christmas Eve Dinner.

[@AF-ke9by]

I have participated in a Feast of 7 Fishes dinner… yummy! My contribution was Smörgåstårta. Enjoy!

[@SandersRN23]

Same here! Perfect timing

[@joyherting3705]

I miss being able to make it with everything I catch from going fishing. Unfortunately now I have permanent nerve and muscle damage along with some other stuff so I can't go fishing and camping anymore, I have a hard time doing Simple Things. I also miss being in a professional kitchen, I used to be a chef, cater ,cake decorator ,pastry chef and I make candies but unfortunately now I am a risk and liability😢 it breaks my heart💔😭

[@stunnedbunny7089]

@@joyherting3705 Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that. Have a blessed holiday, Joy.

[@truthfinder6246]

You're so darn good with these!!! I cook seafood a lot in my family. We all do. I'll share this with them. Thank you!! Merry Christmas, Chef John.

[@annbrookens945]

I love that, on the cioppino recipe, you said "don't make things the same way twice; it's no fun!" My (grown) kids love my meatloaf but I NEVER make it the same. I do something different each time I make it!

[@momkatmax]

My Dad had to learn to cook when Mom was ill. His adventures in meatloaf were memorable. I came over to visit and Mom's joke was "he's trying to kill me, look at that meatloaf in the fridge". I saw the new experiment. Dad said he was out of breadcrumbs and didn't have saltines so he tried to recall what his Mom used. Well it was a little quick oats, and darned if that wasn't available except for those little packets. Thank goodness he didn't use that, I give him credit. No he used cream of wheat. I saw this neatly frosted grayish thing on a plate. I asked him he cover it in Cream of Wheat, no it was mixed in and kinda fell out to the bottom so when it was turned out it made a glistening inch thick layer. Almost like a lard frosting. I did taste it and offered to take my parents out to dinner.

[@rodmckenzie9089]

Hey Chef John, I hope you're enjoying your time off. Thank you for this compilation of so many great seafood recipes. Looking forward to try all of them in the new year 😁

[@alanvonau278]

*This is an excellent compilation of all the seafood dishes that I like. Thanks, and happy holidays, Chef John!* 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@marieb9926]

I love Cioppino I'm gonna give it a go 😋

[@geemom04]

Merry Christmas Chef John and Mrs Chef John! 🙏🌟🎁🎉🪄❤ Love Seafood I see it and eat it! 🤣 (true story) Can't wait to try these recipes!!!

[@ceciliabar1706]

😂😂😂 you're funnnnnny!! You make me laugh and lose my concentratration... Your recipes are amazingly good, but YOU are the best part of them! Love it!!!

[@amandamacneil5742]

Love that you’re using P.E.I. Mussels! I’m from Nova Scotia, which is just a shortish ferry ride away. We also have delicious mussels here too. You’re recipe looks great. I also enjoy these on the beach, with a tad bit of ocean water, wine and garlic cooked over a campfire.

[@austenhead5303]

Those mussels look so delicious, and the recipe so quick and easy to make, but I just can't deal with the cooking them alive part. I'm no vegan, but I guess this is where my line goes. Mussels are long lived creatures that can live for decades or even a whole century, and each individual makes just one small delicious bite after the agony of being cooked alive. It's too wasteful. I can deal with it when one cow dies a quick death and then feeds many people for many meals, but this is just... I can't. It's a massacre for a light snack.

[@gsuberland]

The octopus and shrimp made my mouth water, and I've only just finished eating a big pile of prawn and courgette risotto topped with pan-fried sea bass.

[@Kim-Unearthed]

Omg THANK YOU for that tip on the parsley! You just saved me SOO much time in my prepping! I use parsley in so many dishes and it's the one thing I most dread chopping 😅

[@kimberleegullbailey2547]

The Lobster Bisque!!! The Salmon in parchment paper!! 🤯❤ The shrimp 🍤!! 💛

[@wikinoa]

As I live on the meditenarean, this is my favourite theme. Especially since I enjoy "non-fish" sea food the most (octopus, squid, crabs, shells...).

[@luciennedespota909]

Perfect recipes for Christmas Eve..la vigilia! Muti tomatoes in the glass jars seem to be the most flavorful. Thank you and Buon Natale!

[@russellagao2609]

I do enjoy watching your videos, even if I don't make the dish. But I will say I have made quite a few of your dishes and Food Wishes is my first go to when I want to try something new.

[@gailcardo8996]

Mmm. I will try some of these. I love seafood and I love my Chef John recipes!

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

This is great! My favorite fish of all time is cod, being originally from Massachusetts. I love malt vinegar and tartar sauce too. I now live in indiana...don't ask lol but I plan to make a seafood feast on Christmas eve..unfortunately, everything here is frozen, I really miss the fresh stuff. I'm making king crab legs, a crab dip, shrimp two ways, and a French baguette. Wish me luck! Merry Christmas, Chef John and family!❤

[@ericg2167]

Thank you. I know what you did. Canadians absolutely love their seafood.

[@HannahMattox]

🎶 If you're having grill problems, I feel bad for ya son 🎶 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have shellfish problems 😭😭😭

[@tedpytlik8123]

Had a hankering for mussels. After watching your video that hankering has turned into a must have. On my way to pick up a couple bags of the tasty little gems, and as always, I will ENJOY!

[@ceciliac2225]

I cooked a huge pot of Ciopinno last Christmas. Added fresh chopped fennel bulb in the sauce, simmered on low heat for 45 minutes. Covered, left in the fridge overnight so the flavour came out in full. Next day, reheat the sauce then added seafoods. OMG! It was so good. My family took the whole pot of leftover home.

[@fellhayn]

If you havin grill problems i feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but Chef John ain't one

[@paulwagner688]

I made his "Deviled Lobster" and it was AMAZING. So looking forward to Tuesday's video and Wednesday's Member Chat.

[@aemiliadelroba4022]

Excellent 👌 idea for Christmas 🎄 dinner 🥘, Thank you 🙏

[@cyndifoore7743]

These all look marvelous.

[@naturealbums]

We love our Cod and Chips in the UK and judging by how that batter turned out in your version wow I could eat that all day. My other favourite is the marinated garlic shrimp looks equally amazing. Good health and Happy holidays..

[@Gingerly550]

Wonderful recipes - Merry Christmas, Chef John - and have the best 2022. :)

[@FriendsFamilyKitchen]

That looks absolutely delicious 👌👌 awesome sharing and amazing preparation 🌹🌹👍

[@paulwagner688]

Salmon en papillote was once one of my go to dishes. With super thin potatoes, green beans, and the fish (with plenty of butter flavored spray) it's SO good.

[@m.theresa1385]

OMG ! Yum ! Yum ! Yum ! I already have many of these ingredients on hand for my planned New Year’s Eve paella , but you’re giving me second thoughts . Happy holidays Chef John !

[@maryrizzo3693]

The best fish-n-chips I ever ate were at a little stand outside the gate at RAF Lakenheath in 1983. It was rainy and cold and that chip stand had the best ever!

[@altynbrenham4685]

[@terranceaskew3165]

Cant wait to move back near a beach, so I can cook this kinda stuff with fresh ingredients.

[@rem05033]

"If you're having grill problems, I feel bad for you son." That is a keeper!

[@debbiezullo7056]

Thank you for this packed video of seafood meals.

[@amythompson7700]

I make this every couple of weeks. It’s excellent!

[@cheeruppp]

haha I was just thinking of wanting to learn to make fish and chips yesterday, what a coincidence. different chips though :P

[@truthfinder6246]

Rachel Ray has an easy recipe for crispy chips. I've made them. Terrific.

[@Lin-qv2rz]

Looking good!! Tried your drunken mussels recipe and it was amazing!

[@deecee9548]

I love the way you cook fish/ seafood! Some of these are going to be Boxing Day dinner, thank you 💕

[@janie7242]

Enjoyed! Great receipts! Make a wonderful feast! Give all delicious foods a try! Yammy! Thank you! 🥰😋

[@paulwagner688]

And there are STILL Arthur Treacher's open. Mainly in and around the Cleveland/Younstown OH areas. I need to visit.

[@Ruthyism-]

Chef John, you slay! Like a culinary samurai!

[@wilfbentley6738]

I always use a dry white wine for this and I save (freeze) the mussel-stock for use in other dishes where I want fish-stock.

[@kwnorton5834]

A musician man’s our grill. Never fails.

[@RosaX305]

Ha! I added a quarter cup of crushed red pepper to my mussels… no one else could eat it so I got them all to myself! Delicious spiciness!

[@charliesimpson2974]

re: Cod vs. other types of fish. Cod is the traditional F&C fish. Captain D's, Long John Silver and Arthur Treachers all used it (back in the '60s til sometime in the '90s when cod became more scarce b/c of overfishing due to it's popularity, which led to a doubling in price.) ATs went out of business, while CptDs and LJS switched to haddock (which is close to Cod in flavor and texture) then later to talapia (which is a poor substitute for either one). They have both turned to a type of catfish from VietNam as a cost saving measure. Cod is still available of course, and with the fast food chains switching away from it, Nature is replenishing it.

[@moonrun2]

Thanks for having a shirt on. Great recipes.

Live the Jay-Z reference! Didn't see that coming

[@odehaviland]

Hello, from Hamburg NY!! GO BILLS :)

[@cherylb10]

Such a feast of great food

[@helendavis6264]

Fish and chips are a British staple. This fish and chips is actually fish and crisps. Our chips are your fries. Fish looks stunning though.

[@lindainparis7349]

Seafood hurrah!!!!

[@dsantamaria713]

I made a Scallop dish with King Oyster Mushrooms that was outstanding! There's a Vegan, AND a Vegetarian in the house! 😱

[@evilish888]

Fish out the fish...lol Hey, what do you think Chef John did with the remaining frosty Australian lager in the large blue can? Damn straight, right down the gullet! Good on ya mate!

BOOM finally you mention WNY!! woot woot

[@neesargon3497]

That's not fish and chips. That's fish and crisps. But I must admit that your batter looks fabulous!!

[@fjp9]

thank you for the timestamps!

[@hlynnkeith9334]

Lobster bisque: I like to add a shot of sherry to the bisque at the table.

[@JonManProductions]

Ah yes, Chef John Executing that Lobster never gets old.

[@andrewpryately3672]

I got 99 problems but a grill ain't one!

[@TroyProutyShow]

I had this weird diet. Seefood diet. Everything I saw. I ate.

[@jasonjones6428]

I’m new to mussels. So you just eat them whole? Guts and all? Or is there a way to clean them?

[@WhiskeyandSmoke]

Love it

[@DFerociousBeast]

My man's just quoted jay z on a mussels recipe!!!

[@pinano3411]

I liked the Caddyshack reference.

[@chrisdoe3642]

Geeze that octopus is kind of intensive but i bet it tastes great, Btw Chef John you are James Beard material in my book

[@bltoth1955]

I swear saw a chip that was the spitting image of Graham Kerr!

[@markfergerson2145]

Can you do a baked breaded fish recipe for those of us who don't own or don't want to use a deep fryer?

[@brettm3431]

mad props on the jay-z reference

[@kwnorton5834]

Always make my own self-rising flour - it works much better & we can chose the quality of our flour and add as much baking powder as we wish.
