A little salty, a little racy, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is always honest. From the moment it debuted in September of 2004, the online comic strip developed a loyal audience who rabidly followed the romantic and culinary adventures of an Italian-American family preparing for and celebrating the traditional Christmas Eve seafood feast. Here, for the first time, the entire run of the 1983 storyline is collected, along with a cookbook section detailing recipes for creating your own Feast, as well as never-before-seen strips and behind-the-scenes information.

“...Feast shows how traditions make their way through our society even to those to whom the traditions are, at first, unique and mysterious...you can almost hear the music and smell the food... a uniquely interactive comic...”

— The Hungover Gourmet

“I found it to be profound and profoundly funnny, perversely true and wise, and a joy to read. Feast of the Seven Fishes presents you with an experience more akin to reading a prose novel, with all its concerns and devices and deep impact. Just about the perfect blend of words and pictures and meaning, with nary a misstep or blot to be found.Impressive, assured and addictive.”

— Bill Baker, Baker's Dozen

“...an amazingly human, touchingly down-to-earth story. Add artist Alex Saviuk and all the great Italian recipes into the mix and you've got an authentic experience you won't soon forget. Bravo!”
