This beautifully produced cookbook features a wide variety of common and unique shellfish dishes... Some of the best (and acclaimed) recipes are: crown of shrimp in aspic, idonesian shrimp cake, spiced and sauteed soft shell crab, french scallops with saffron, galician lobster, boild beer shrimp, neptune souffle, pear and curry shrimp, specialty whiskey lobster, malaysian coconut prawns, and many more. Truly a wonderful shellfish recipe collection. (be sure to get the hardbound edition as the paperbound edition has some deletions)

I love all shell fish. This book has excellent pictures and instructions for everything shellfish. The other half has recipes which are good traditional ones and they are much easier after having studied the pictures. Note that this is an older publication and uses traditional ingredients such as salt and butter and heavy cream and bacon, which suits me just fine. This is the third book in this series that I have purchased used. The others were Fish and Pasta which were great also. I have to say that the recipes in this series taste great, not bland blah like some Politically Correct recipes you run into nowadays.
