5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, delicious recipes, and much more, for seafood lovers!, September 30, 1999
By A Customer
This book was barely on the shelves when it won the prize for "Best Cookbook on Fish" in an international cookbook fair. It's easy to see why. In addition to the many tasty recipes that make seafood cooking a breeze, the authors have included valuable information about the different types of seafood, how to choose the freshest seafood, how to order fresh seafood delivered to your door, and their "Top 10" lists of favorite seafood restaurants, oyster bars, and so on. Our favorites are the chapters on grilling fish and on sauces and marinades. Salmon and shrimp each get their own chapters full of delicious recipes. Makes a great gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book -- fun, informative and recipes work!, October 15, 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent book that is informative and fun to read. The recipes actually work, and they always suggest alternative ingredients in case you can't find a specific seafood item. The authors did a wonderful job.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Book for "The Rest of Us", January 1, 2001
By Joseph Schaumburger (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This is a bad book. I am a big collector and user of cookbooks and I find this one greatly lacking. The authors wrote about the seafood they like, mainly salmon and shrimp. They cover other seafood but in a very limited way. Recipes for ordinary fish like catfish, orange roughy, and flounder are all lumped together. Ordinary recipes are mostly ignored, and some of the recipes use weird and hard to get items. There is too much emphasis on novelty items like 100 gallon crawfish boiling rigs that only restaurants would have much use for. If you're looking for a quick and easy catfish stew recipe, you won't find it here. Nor a recipe for curried shrimp. If your supermarket stocks such things as sambal oelek, you're in luck. If you like recipes with 17 ingredients, here's where you'll find them. This seems to me to be an elitist, fancy cookbook for yuppies. If you're looking for a cookbook with easy, quick recipes to cook the seafood you can actually buy, this isn't it. Definitely not a seafood cookbook for "the rest of us," as the cover promises, unless you're a chef in an upscale restaurant.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Those Who Love Seafood But Don't Cook It At Home
This is definitely more a technical manual than a cookbook. It's friendly writing style kept me interested while learning about the wide world of seafood though. Read more
