(upbeat music)
- Obviously, you know by now, that we're Italian.
But mom, why have we never done this before?
- Well, your dad has always insisted on having a tenderloin.
- And I also think it's because she never heard
about the Feast of the Seven Fishes, till a few years ago.
Is not just seven fishes, some people do 10, 13.
The seven fishes started as part of the seven sacraments.
- Is that what you heard? - Mhmm.
- It was more of the peasant...
- Peasant?
- Type fish.
- Salt cod and octopus and sardines.
Over the years has become a grand feast.
So I'm bringing in some classis things that I've found out
and then pull some of my own things,
because...
We're just gonna see how many pots and pans
we can get going at once.
If I'm doing anything
you can comment and let me know.
I'd love to hear about how you celebrate
the Feast of the Seven Fishes, if you do.
This is actually, though, something you said you were
gonna do for us, for this Christmas Eve.
- Yes, me and dad talked about it and
that's what we had decided to do.
- So, you have to start with a couple appetizer things,
a couple kind of heavier things.
The first dish I'm gonna make is something with salt cod.
Had to place a special order for this.
Kinda freaked me out a little bit,
'cause it comes in an envelope, in the regular mail.
So I've soaked it and rinsed it for three days.
- And I'll make the sauce for the oysters on the half.
- Yeah, so she's gonna make a mignonette sauce,
'cause she does this every year.
So, that's kind of your masterpiece.
So, I go in this hot, with the rinsed cod.
Just don't put your nose right up to it and you're good.
- I didn't know I was actually going to be cooking.
- Right.
Like we have time for me to do all this by myself.
We probably should have a cocktail, though.
- I know, why should this be any different?
- Right, this is what we do.
You also happen to need Prosecco in your mignonette sauce.
- Actually, I do.
(wine cork pops)
- She asked if I really do drink
when we do this shows or am I just faking it.
- ...on faking it?
- Okay, cheers. - Cheers.
- So, I'm gonna bring this to a boil and let it simmer
for about 20 to 30 minutes till it kinda flakes apart.
Then I'm going to pure it.
So, I'm making kind of like a salt cod spread
that's gonna go over crostini.
I think it's gonna be pretty tasty.
(electric stove turns on)
I guess I can start on the third dish.
Which is...
Go on and...
... I know this is not traditional
but I'm bringing in my low country husband into this.
- And crab is a shell fish.
- Christmas Eve dinner's in our family
are always very fancy, though.
It's the nicest meal of the year.
They don't ask us kids to do anything, even though
we're all old enough with our own kids.
Then when we leave her favorite saying...
Do you wanna say it?
(laughing)
She says...
- Oh, no...
The cod is now boiled over and it's smelling quite strongly.
- Oh, that does smell.
- So, I'm gonna make my crab cakes.
These are one of my specialties.
Alright, I'm gonna saute some onion, bell pepper, celery.
- This peppercorns are about to make me sneeze.
- You just need to go at it.
- Show me.
Well, I was trying to be quiet.
I just feel like, Nicole, I need a towel over my shoulder.
'Cause that's what mama would have on her shoulder.
- Now, we're gonna do the mama towel holder.
- Okay, feel better? - Yes.
- Okay. - Mama's with us now.
- Shopping for this feast is gotta be the most expensive
meal of the year.
So, our three lighter courses are
the salt cod, the oysters and the crab cakes.
Then we're gonna have cioppino, a fish stew.
That's gonna knock out three fishes.
I don't think that's called cheating,
but if it is, would you let me know, down below?
This one is just gonna have mussels, clams
...and halibut.
No, because I'm doing my shrimp in my final dish.
Which is shrimp scampi.
So, that makes...
Wo, here we go again.
- Oh...
How many times do we boil this?
- Okay, so the mess is starting to increase.
- You know what's missing, Nicole?
- So, I'm gonna start with fennel onion and garlic
in the cioppino.
Do you put fennel in yours?
- It's just something you just don't have
in your refrigerator.
- If you were a true Italian you would have it.
Okay, so what are you doing for our feast?
What are we having?
'Cause I don't think you could do this types of dishes...
- No, we are not having the cod.
- ...this would stress you out.
- But I would like to do the salmon dip, sort of like
what you're doing with the cods.
- Smoked salmon dip, oysters on the half shell,
a whole baked fish, you have four more to go.
- And a cioppino.
And I wanna do a pasta dish.
- So, you're probably gonna have more than seven fishes.
(laughing)
Uh, now it's gonna start smelling good.
- Okay, well, this is kind of flaking apart.
I think that means it's ready to pure.
Alright mom, so what are some of our other traditions?
We have dad reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.
- Well, you know we have to have hang out
and wait on the firetruck to come with Santa Claus.
- We used to go spread Christmas cheer but dad would take
us to buy two cases of wine,
and then we just go to neighbors' houses to deliver it.
That was after we hit up the breakfast buffet Shoney's.
- Oh...
Oh yeah, that was my time to...
(laughing)
- Oh, yeah.
Whoop.
(laughing)
- You usually start dancing when you taste something.
You've done that since you were a little girl, too.
- She just gave you all the secrets.
Huh, it's like there are so many steps to do.
Alright, the cod has been drained and slightly cooled.
I don't know if I'm doing this right.
I'm sure you will let me know if I'm not.
I'm gonna chop up the fish and the garlic.
I think it might be quite nice.
Let's give it a taste.
(cracker crunches)
- Sounds delicious.
(cracker crunches)
This is something you could make in advance.
- Not everything is made to order.
- It's smelling good.
- Okay, I gotta clean up a little bit.
Are we ready to carry on?
- Well, I thought we were gonna clean up.
Beautiful.
And you also have to love to eat.
We are not a family that eats to live.
Do you know how to shock oysters?
- I do, but I don't like to.
Okay, now see?
That's done.
Would you put those in the oven?
- The younger you would have already done that.
You can go back and see my tutorial
on how to shock an oyster.
- How beautiful.
- How ice cold.
You're gonna need a cracker, aren't you?
This lady won't eat an oyster without a saltine cracker.
Good thing I'm not really shocking oysters for the crowd.
- Now, we'd be here till New Year's.
- Go for it. - You have to do...
- a little hot sauce.
A little lemon juice.
- Mm.
- I have to dance. - She dancin'.
(laughing)
- She's going back in.
I'm over here doing all the hard work.
So, you're cutting the halibut into just big chunks.
We're gonna drop it in here, with our shell fish.
And I'll just sprinkle a little salt and pepper on those.
Tired yet?
- No.
(laughing)
- Have you ever made shrimp scampi?
(humming song)
- Alright, while the cioppino finishes,
I'm gonna do the shrimp scampi.
And we will have completed our seven fishes.
Oh, mom, can you get the crab cakes out?
Shrimp scampi is all about buttery garlicky goodness.
Serving it over pasta because I just don't think
you can have any Italian feast that does not include pasta.
Okay, going out with my scrumps.
- Now the red pepper flakes, huh?
- More wine, more better.
- Oh, that looks so pretty.
Look at what you've created.
- Check it out!
Alright, so we're gonna clean up
for the final presentation, right?
- Right.
- 'Cause we cannot eat like this.
- We did it.
- I can't believe we did it.
- [Nicole] It only took us what?
Three hours?
- [Gloria] And it was so much fun.
- It's fun when-- you know, we're paced
for this kind of stuff.
(laughing)
Y'all look, I mean, you gotta be impressed, right?
This is the Feast of the Seven Fishes.
This is so grammable.
Smile.
I think we conquered our first Feast of the Seven Fishes.
What's your favorite thing we made?
- Probably the oysters.
(laughing)
- Great.
- And this may be my second, right here.
And I love it when the fish is so delicious like that.
(cracker crunches)
- That's it, for this episode.
What did you think?
- I loved being mom versus mom.
- Versus Feast of the Seven Fishes.
So, do you think you're ready to conquer this for us
on Christmas Eve?
To see how she did, I will post pictures on my Instagram
so be sure and follow me at NicoleMcMom.
And as always, don't forget to...
And if you're watching on YouTube...
- Cheers, mama. - Cheers.
(laughing)
- I'm here today with my mom.
- I'm here today with my mom.
(laughing)
