[@snoep25]

You could NOT hate this man if you tried! I swear to God! Thank you sénior and cam man (son):)

[@neuromancer2036]

Watching this brought tears to my eyes , it reminded me of my grandfather cooking fish god rest his soul.

[@chrispap4957]

Oh man bro, my grandfather, grandma, and all their brothers and sisters! Sadly they have all all passed on, we still try (especially me) hang on to our heritage, especially Christmas Eve, sadly these broken accents are no longer heard in our family.Sometimes, I am assuming they didn't want us to know what they were saying. they would speak Italian. We are now all born and raised "Americanos" I am sure your'e your grandfather was a great man and like my grandfather valued family, loyalty, motherland, and homeland( my grandfather was born in Italy, came here, I am 3rd generation Italian) Our grandfathers may be having a glass of dago red vino up there and I bet they have some glasses put aside for future souls.I love my dad to death, all my family, but the person I most enjoyed being around was my grandfather. I am so glad my family knows and loves we are Americans, but never forgot we come from Basilicatta Italy.

[@elviradonaghy5422]

MY FATHER WAS ITALIAN, HIS MOTHER WAS THE GREATEST COOK IN THE WORLD. I REMEMBER, COOKED THIS FOR THIS HOLY FEAST DAY WE USED FIVE DIFFERENT TYPES, BUT IT WAS GOOD ON CHRISTMAS EVE. WE FASTED AND ATE ONLY FISH THAT NIGHT, BIGGER FEAST ON CHRISTMAS DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RECIPIES. I MADE EGGPLANT PARMASEAN 2 TIMES ALREADY. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@62202ify]

I am of Italia, Irish, German, Puerto Rican decent, every Christmas Eve we do the Feast of the 7 fishes, we used to cook a lot of it ourselves, but now it's hard for my Mom and Grandmother, but thanks to you I can now makes this at least, and the fish filets aren't hard, the ones we get you just bake them in the oven, everything else we order from an Italian place we like Pizziola. Salute

[@diannemarshall4078]

Whistle while you work! What a very special Dad you have. I learn so much from watching. God Bless.

[@francesvansiclen3245]

Chef Pasquale, that salad looks like the best thing in the world !!!!

[@rjmars1]

This takes me back to Christmas long long ago. when everyone would come to Pops house. now everybody is gone. So sad.

[@chrispap4957]

Sorry man, I feel you, my grandma and mom have both passed on...I cook Christmas Eve dinner now and do a good job, but miss being a kid when grandma did it and my grandpap was at the head of the table. Not everyone in family was fish fanatics, me and my uncle Ronny absolutely devoured everything she made, we'd play cards after, Christmas Eve is still to this day my favorite holiday meal, Love Thanksgiving, but Christmas Eve is on another level. Always got a ton of leftovers cause of the 11 of us that were there me and unc were only two that truly enjoyed it. My mom and cousins hated it, barely ate...the smelts and the macaroni with red sauce and calimari were fucking amazing...

[@francescharters6697]

Sorry for your loss its Sad weve lost my husband and parents so no older family just young ones that dont celebrate

[@scrappypooh1515]

I would eat the whole bowl!!!! Dear Lord does that look delish!🇺🇸☺

[@rosannacasella774]

God Bless you and your family Nonno Pasquale Buon Natale, e buon appetito. 🍷🙏

[@IFIXCASTLES]

Many members of my close family died, others moved away and disappeared never to be heard from ...... I cannot tell you how this video is a priceless Italian treasure. Many of the old traditions disappeared with my family...... Food prepared with this kind of love has to be delicious....it comes from the heart....I was too young to appreciate what was happening in the kitchen. All I knew was- provolone smelled like my feet. A child just being a child....When we grow up we see what our family tried to instill in us. God Bless you my friend, Merry Christmas, and stay well....

[@delgi9551]

Looks absolutely amazing! My mouth is watering; nothing better than the Italian fish salad on Christmas Eve or in general 🇮🇹

[@d.s.oliver4371]

WOW!!! Love love this recipe!!! Thank you! ❤️

[@ritabrown2226]

I love you sharing your wisdom. Not many people know what you shared about the cleaning of the calamari. Thank you!😊

[@delainalovell177]

Thank You for showing us the inside scoop on the calamari ! And really smart to cook in 2 pots. 😀

[@petemoss9693]

Looks so good . . . the camera man ( your son ) sure is very lucky he has you to cook for him !!!

[@charger19691]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you Chef Pasquale and your wife and family! Thank you for a year of excellent videos! You always teach me so much about cooking and gardening and I love hearing about growing up in Orsara! God Bless!

[@Truckngirl]

[@viennasegura1202]

What an awesome trip down memory lane! this dear man reminds me of my dad and I was so touched by this video. So authentic and sweet. Thank you for sharing

[@truthfinder6246]

These times are the best in any body's life. Chef, you are such a blessing.

Can't explain how much I love this guy :) It brings all the happy memories of Christmas eve, that I am trying to keep it going. Italians KEEP the traditions going ;)

[@rfallonrn]

This was wonderful. I learned a lot, calamari who knew. thank you!

[@patdodu211]

Oh my God ! Two big hands in the fish salad !

[@madswinebbq]

CONGRATULATIONS!! KZbin's only video where all comments are positive! This guy can teach ANYTHING and I'd listen! He should definitely do commercials. "WHATSA EN JUR WALLET "

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

+Ruben Alvarez Not commercials, but his own food channel on TV if you ask me. ^^ But now I come to think of it, I bet he would even be able to sell make up to a straight man. LOL His expressions and charisma is very tempting!!! :D :D

[@DaveTheSamurai]

What a beautiful salad. Bravo!

[@mickeyblue2647]

You have it all,you make your own sauce, sausage, and you cook oh I almost forgot your garden, like my friend use to say forgetaboutit.

[@talatkhan9292]

Love your whistling songs. You are a great chef.

[@firecracker4151]

He whistled the most beautiful Christmas carol ever written

[@angelicashobby]

Beautiful feast! Enjoyed this so much. It was hard work but he made it look easy. I will never eat calamari at the restaurant again. Always good information in these videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@tubularblonde]

Boy oh Boy! This looks SO GOOD !!!! Happy Holidays to you, too, Chef Pasquale and to your family!!!

[@8bitbunbun]

This is almost identical to how my bisnonna taught me. The only difference is that she also added hot pepper flakes as my bisnonno really loved them. Thank you for bringing back such lovely memories.

[@erintrafan7287]

Molto Grazie!! Just finished making this and it is fantastic. Great tips on cleaning the calamari e polpi. I added a handful of chopped green olives to mine, added a little extra briney/salty taste. Buon Natale!!

[@Widewhite29]

Looks amazing - I love your attention to detail. Merry Christmas

[@joshhuatheg3m3ni5]

Those lemons must’ve been super fresh! That kitchen knife was struggling to get through that outside peel. It’s a pleasure to watch you cook sir! It’s easy to tell when someone is passionate about what they are doing and it shows in your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@cityofdestiny9039]

Merry Christmas! Thank you for sharing another wonderful culinary creation!

[@fatcatfrankie8321]

Seniore Pasquale, all my cousins from Italy say there is no such thing as the feast of the7 fishes in Italy. I can only assume this is an Italian American tradition . Can you tell me anything about the origin of this feast?

[@curtisrusso8741]

I'm late to the party, but this looks absolutely beautiful. Subscribed!

[@marie42ify]

Bellissima ricetta signore Pasquale. Grazie per tutti le ricette che ci regali. Buone natale e felice anno nuove a te e la tua famiglia. Tu devi campare pui di cent'anni. Saluti del'Australia & by the way... I clean my calamari like you & have bought up my children to love the tenticales. Best part! Calamari dont swim like rings in the ocean :)

[@moonstar9861]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Dec 28,2018 ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️

[@TheTourmaline57]

that is just perfect.

[@christianschill1658]

Bonjour Monsieur, what you show here pleases me very very much. First, I like your style of cooking and of being just you. I tried out your surprising green cabbage pesto, just delicious with pasta. Second, you prepare this big family Christmas meal with so much love and last but not least, such an insalata di frutti de mare is my absolute favorite preferred dish, you should see all the water that is coming out of my mouth looking at that! May you have a peaceful Christmas time and a happy new year, my best wishes to you and all your family, Christian from Alsace, France.

[@zshakur]

Love you Pops! Your channel's great! Keep up the wonderful content...and whistle more, that was very soothing. Listening to you cook while I cook for my family is a pleasant meditation.

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

Now that's what I call TRUE homemade Italian cuisine!! THANKYOU sir for sharing!! Bon appétit!! CHOW! 😀

[@janet2300]

Jim Bigboystoys mm bob. ,

[@stephanelandry]

Pasquale, Very nice tip for the Calamari. I watch a lot of cooking shows and never heard of the inside/out trick, Than you my friend!

[@elizabethmelnychuk6034]

I am going to make it! I know people worry about the salt but if there is not enough it tastes flat.

[@1billwill]

What a nice man and great chef, Thank you for the posting, more great recipe per favour.

[@selfloveloveself9502]

Mouth watering!!!

[@actonann]

Excellent teacher. Thank you!

[@debbieciaobella]

Absolutely, wonderful! I also make the seven fishes; My main dish is the baccala stew and I also deep fry them and of course, the smelts. Thank you so much for showing how to clean the calamari. Buon Natale!

[@chrispap4957]

The smelts are a must. I bet you're baccala stew is out of this world. I have had almost every Italian dish imaginable, but never baccala stew. My mouth is watering just thinking about it...

[@sharrygia]

I love this video, I will try this recipe for the Christmas Holidays this year 2018

[@tonyn152]

This looks sooooo good! I don''t think I will ever eat calamari in a restaurant again. Ugh!

[@Chapu4ever]

Same to You ! Dear Pasquale !

[@meganasp1498]

OK, what kind of calamari or cuddlefish is he using bc in all of the videos I've seen so far it takes sooo long for him to cook them. I've cooked both and it only takes a mater of minutes. Genuinely want to know bc I love his recipies.

[@windella]

Do you eat the cooked lemon seeds? You drained the fresh lemon but when you added lemon juice to the water seeds went into the water.The shrimp shells would make a nice broth to cook the seafood instead of plain water.

[@natale149]

Made this. It came out sooooo goood. Thank you.

[@jeannecooke4862]

Thank you, Chef...thank you.

[@Linxs718]

Yummy, thank you, I can't wait to try this.

[@christypoos9728]

So glad you told viewers how to remove the cartridge spine of the calamari. Many leave in and it ruins the calamari.

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

Beautiful👍 how about doing one stuffing that calamari.😊

[@itiswhatitise6079]

Yummy 🤤 😋 yummy

[@KModica11]

Thank you for showing me how to clean the calamari. On one of my tubes I found a fish inside! No want to eat!

[@kimdaloia]

Merry Christmas Chef!

[@sarahgarnett7556]

[@IcecoldDan26]

My Nonno made it basically the same way, except he added scungilli as well!

[@firecracker4151]

olives

[@giuseppeilbambino493]

Pasquale I have a question ....you must be RICH, to make this dish, cost you a fortune right ? and also you making food for 4 families, my God, I wonder how many people will eat this food....or may you cook it, for a restaurant which I don't know.. But in any case you are a Master Chef...congratulations to you...and thank you for all these recipes Salute and chin chin...God Bless you...Pino.

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

Great fish salad.👍 chef, can you do a video preparing stuffed 🦑calamari?

[@membernypd]

Miss you guys!!

[@ltlambert9267]

wow, love you sir!

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

A plate from heaven!! YUMMMM!!!! :D :D You never stop to amaze me! Question: do you have a recipe for "crocchette di gamberi"? The one with the little gray shrimps (specialty from Belgium and cooked on the fishermen's boats in seawater immediately after being caught)? I've made a batch of these "crocchette" (or as we say in Belgium 'garnaalkroket') yesterday, and after having been set in the fridge for 16 hours - which IS a must for them - and covering them with the necessary coats of flower, egg and breadcrumbs, the taste is PERFECT, and I seriously mean perfect, but the inside is to runny when cutting them open (after baking in hot oil, 180°C and golden brown of course). Ps: I've looked up the recipe of several well known Belgian Chef's, who should be very at home with these, but none seem to work out very well for me when it comes to the inside consistence they actually need. Which is firm, not runny. Would you, Pasquale - or anyone who knows the recipe - give me a helping hand on what to do to get that firm inside? Cheers and thanks in advance! Greetings from Belgium! OW forgot something VERY important: people, when you make this fish salad, make sure to have FRESH products, preferably caught the same day, not frozen ones. Trust me, you do NOT want to cook frozen products that long, unless you want your guests and yourself to chew for half an hour on a piece of calamari. Besides, you'll never get that good taste anyway with frozen seafood. Just sharing my experiences on that one. ;)

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Do you cook any herring in garlic?

[@joecorreia8730]

Very good

[@danielvelez4001]

Nice dish

[@edcasapia]

Grazie tante !! Bellisimo !

[@TheTourmaline57]

do you pound the pulpo before cooking??????
