Published: Dec. 10, 2019, 9 a.m.

b'On a special holiday bonus episode of the Feast, we talk to Robert Tinnell, the writer and director of the new film, \\u201cThe Feast of the Seven Fishes\\u201d, out now. Centered on the Italian-American culinary tradition of seven seafood dishes eaten on Christmas Eve, the romantic-comedy is based loosely on Robert\\u2019s childhood growing up in West Virginia. From stuffed calamari to marinated eel to salt cod, we talked to Robert about the food traditions at the heart of the film. Although no one may know exactly this fishy feast\\u2019s origins, today, the Feast of the Seven Fishes has become a celebrated holiday tradition in Fairmont, West Virginia where the town holds a yearly festival in its honor.
