I'm Black American and grew up eating fried whiting I honestly never heard of anyone else eating this fish and assumed it was just a black thing. It's not the best fish being that it's small, takes a bit to clean and typically has a lot of small bones. What a delightful surprise to see this video, Gina you are amazing one of my favorite channels!
I ♥️ Gina She makes cooking easy.She reminds me of My Nonna Elvira.Gina is real and a kind lady,She’s a wonderful cook and explores everything clearly. In our family she is like our second Nonna and consider as one of family. Our Italian family considers her as one of us. Grazie for giving her to everyone who loves to cook like her. Brava Gina! 🇮🇹🌹giovanna🌷🥰
I cannot think of a better Christmas present that a video from our beloved Gina!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and to all your subscribers!!!
It’s Grandma Gina, it’s nearly Christmas, everything is good for the duration of this video! God bless you Grandma Gina and Happy Christmas to you and your family xx.
I don’t think you realize just how many people you make happy 😊!!!! Just by being you and sharing yourself with us. THANK YOU and you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year 🥰😍❤️
Gina, I have been frying fish for 30 years, I never seen the flour first, egg last method, I sure am gonna try it, they look fantastic, Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Mama Gina: My Italian mother passed away from cancer when I was pregnant with my oldest child, my daughter Ava. Ava always missed having a maternal grandmother, and always wanted to hear stories about my mother. When Ava discovered your videos, she felt like she had found the grandmother she never knew. Coincidentally, my mother's name was Gloria Gina! Ava and I watch your videos together, and recently, Ava bought your cookbook for me. Thank you for singing while you cook, like my mother used to, and thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.
My mom use to make writings all the time. I use to love them when I was kid. You bring back good memories for me. ❤ you grandma Gina. 😅 My mouth is watering.
Can we all just admit that Gina is everyone's favorite Nonna that taught us how to really cook real Italian dishes. I've been watching her for years and because of her I make the family favorites when it comes to pasta dishes. I'm not Italian but have been told by Italian neighbors that my sauces are the real deal!
growing up here in Michigan we've slways had lots of fish. The only fish ive ever had to buy was cod. salmon, lake trout, bluegills,bass, perch and my favorite, walleye..frying fish always reminds me of family and fishing all summer and winter on the ice. Love you Gina. Merry Christmas ❤
Oh I have been waiting to see you Nona Gina! It is always so good to see you❤.Wishing you and your wonderful family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year full of love❤ Joy❤Health ❤Peace❤You are beautiful inside and out 🥰🥰

Ha ha ha! Buon Natale right back to you and I hope your holidays with the family are wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and thank you for your children and grandchildren for working out the logistics! Y'all do a fantastic job!😀
I was just working on my Christmas Card for you, so it made the perfect timing! We live in Upper Michigan around where Lake Huron and Lake Michigan come together, and Lake Superior is just about an hour away. We get a lot of wonderful freshwater fish ... so this is very useful! Grazie encore!
Buon Natale Gina!! I love that you sang Tu Sciendi della Stella. My family always played that on the piano for Christmas. God bless you for good health in the new year . 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️🙋🏻♀️
Watching your grandma brings me back to the beautiful times with mine (spanish version) she passed away in 2020 and will never see her again so enjoy that woman please she is Beautiful❤
Howdy Grandma Gina!! Always a pleasure to see you and to learn your delicious recipes.. wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas from South Texas 😊
You make me so happy when you sing! It brings me back to my childhood. My nonno would play the accordion & my nonna would always sing. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face! 😘 BUON NATALE!!🎄
Gina you brought tears to my eyes remembering my dear mother singing that song every Christmas. Thank you for the joy you bring with every one of your videos

Good morning my sweet Gina, I remember doing these exact steps with my beloved grandma. Keep posting your wonderful, delicious recipes. You are truly a giant breath of fresh air in this world today. I always say this, but often I wish I could be in the kitchen with you. Lots of love, Maribeth from Loveland, Colorado♥️♥️
I love Grandma Gina..she reminds me of my own Grandmother..❤ Just watching her makes me feel comfortable..like my own grandmother..I LOVE YOU GRANDMA GINA❤
Thanks for sharing this picture of fish Nana Gina ❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽 love it when you are so happy and when you are singing!!! Bless you and your family Merry Christmas 🎄
It's with such love that the food is carefully prepared and cooked for others. In return each bite of a meal is savored knowing all the love that is put into it. 💕
Love whiting and so happy to watch this recipe. You not only make your daughter happy but you make all your viewers happy too. You are complete joy! Happy and healthy Holiday Season to you Gina and your family❤️❤️❤️
Great to see you and hear you again, Grandma Gina! The fish looks delicious. can't wait to make it! God bless you, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Just in time for Vigilia! I wish my Mamma were here to hear You sing “Tu scendi dalle stelle!” That was Mamma Stella’s favorite song for Natale! Grazie, bella Nonna Gina! Buon Natale! ❤
I bought your cookbook for a Christmas present to myself. I can't wait to try out some of your recipes. This video will be good for Christmas Eve, for the Feast of Seven Fishes. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless you Gina and your family. XOXOXO.
Love you Grandma Gina. Your recipes are so good and I am able to make a real carbonara now. Thank you and best wishes for you and your family from Germany. God bless you.
Hi Gina, Now there is only one word to say, YUM, ( love the song it makes everything taste better 😅) Happy Christmas to you all 🥰❤️, All the best Brian 😃
She reminds me of my "mimo" mom. Precious. I just bought some Smelts today because I miss my mom's "mimos" cooking. She would sing when we were little kids. It looks delicious. I can't wait to fry them up. I don't care if the house smells up of fried fish. What is Xmas for. God Bless you! Merry Xmas to you! You brought back memories. T.Y.!
Hi Gina! Looking good my friend. That fish look's delicious. All crispy. I would like some chips with that. I can taste that fish. Thank's for doing this for us, that's why we love you. God bless you and your family. ❤❤
Every family should have a Nonna Gina. What a phenomenal lady she is. Imagine having your partner say their mother is coming for Christmas and it’s Gina instead of a cranky, judgemental old lump for the couch who does nothing to contribute and insists on controlling the thermostat and TV. God Bless you Gina.
Hello Grandma Gina thank you for showing us all how easy it is to prepare fish it looks delicious peace and Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family🎄⛄🎄☃️ till next time take care love from upstate New York❤😊
It is So IMPORTANT to have the fish very clean!! This is a great tutorial to use!
Love when she sings over her food that’s an extra ingredient of love ❤ 🇮🇹 ✨🫶🏼
