Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Fish enthusiasts of all skill levels are certain to find at least a handful of recipes worth trying in this mammoth compilation billed as "the only fish cookbook you will ever need." Divided into three parts (basic skills, recipes and reference), the book feels like a master course on all things aquatic and edible: explanations of cooking and preparation methods are understandable, straightforward and loaded with diagrams, while the recipes range from classics (crab bisque and cioppino) to nouveau (Honeyed Scallop Brochettes and Monkfish Coconut and Mango Curry). The greatest challenge for American cooks will be finding some of the fish-Turbot, John Dory and hake aren't easily found on these shores, so recipes such as Pan Fried John Dory With Roasted Pumpkin might be relegated to culinary wish-lists for a while. The authors recognize this, though, and offer substitutions-along with wine suggestions-for every dish. Those looking for an inspired break from roasted salmon will find a wealth of great ideas, and those with access to a good fishmonger will be even happier. 40 pages of color photos.

The only fish cookbook you'll ever need,
By Dr.J.A.P. (Chicagoland, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leith's Fish Bible (Hardcover)
If you go to the UK version of Amazon you'll find all sorts of information about this book. Let's face it, when it comes to fish, the British are far more on the ball the Americans. They live on the stuff.
The recipes in here are REALLY easy to do, with very clear instructions, and tasty!!! What really amazes me is that I'll find some odd kind of fish I've never heard of before for sale at the grocery store at a really cheap price so I buy it. I come home, I open this book and there are at least 5 different ways to prepare it. I look in some of my other fish cook books, and I'm lucky if I find even one recipe. You have GOT to get this book!!!
