4.0 out of 5 stars Something Fishy Here, July 4, 2000

This review is from: Seafood: Twice a Week (Paperback)

A useful book with 135 pages of recipes, with additional information on nutritional and health benefits, preparation tips (e.g., shucking an oyster), and safety instructions for the cook and angler. Recipes are easy and uncluttered, with very tasty results. The book includes separate chapters on appetizers, soups and stews, sandwiches, salads, finfish, shellfish, microwaving, and baking, and special occasions (for example, oyster stuffing and Thanksgiving salmon, an everyone's favorite (?), a Sunday dinner of "Halibut Pot Roast."

One complaint is that there are not enough baked fish recipes (nor are there menu or wine suggestions). However, this is an excellent introduction to the whys and hows of some delicious fish dishes. With numerous tables (including nutritional and texture comparisons, and cooking and grilling techniques), index, and nutritional and diabetic exchange information for each recipe.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent fish in twenty minutes or less, January 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Seafood: Twice a Week (Paperback)

Seafood twice a week makes cooking delicious fish on
Tuesday night in twenty minutes a snap. Fish is very fast to cook and with this book it is always delicious. I now enjoy a much wider variety of fish. And I make restaurant quality meals in twenty minutes.

Also each kind of fish tastes best with a recipe designed to go with its distinct flavor. The author tells you which fish their recipe goes with best. Usually three or four choices of fish per recipe.

I can also use a recipe as a guideline if I don't have all the ingredients at home and it still turns out great.

I really do use this book twice a week and just bought five copies to give to family and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Cookbook!, December 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Seafood: Twice a Week (Paperback)

This cookbook is excellent! I love all the recipes I have tried! They are fairly easy, full of flavor, and healthy! I enjoy eating fish but have had limited variety growing up. This book maps out the similarities between the flavor and texture of different fish, which makes it easy to try new kinds. Plus, it tells you how to substitute different fish for each recipe.

I recently started cooking for myself, and I have found this book to be the most helpful cookbook! It tells you how to shop for, how to prepare, and how to cook any type of fish. Plus, it provides a wide range of cooking ideas from grilling and baking to stovetop and microwave. It even provides helpful tips so that you know what temperatures and such to use if you want to try your own seasoning or sauce.

A must have for any fish eater, and for those who need to be fish eaters! These recipes definitely make eating fish very enjoyable!

YUM! YUM! YUM!
