Field Guide to Seafood: How to Identify, Select, and Prepare Virtually Every Fish and Shellfish at the Market

Perfect guide book

I already have the same guide on Meat, now I have purchased this book. Don't judge on its size, in fact it contains hundreds of recipes. However, you'll have to have some basic skills in cooking in order to utilise it. It doesn't have big colourful pictures or fancy faces of celebrity chefs, but its extremely practical. It doesn't requires thousands of steps or ingredients (like other cookbooks) that ordinary people like me will never try.So why did I mention about the 'car'? Well, I keep my book in my glovebox, so that everything when I visit supermarkets, see something interesting and most importantly, fresh, I'll then search the book for ideas. The most useful cookbook I've ever had.

Good book, but was missing some pictures of a lot of fish. Very good book for beginners and experienced cooks as well.

I bought this book as part of a birthday present for my wife. It is a wonderful reference on the subject.The book is largely a reference guide to fresh and prepared fish and shellfish (generally). It is in a standard field-guide format with a section of pictures, and a larger section describing the seafood, how to select it, preparation suggestions, etc.This is not a "cookbook" as such. However, it is very helpful or people who may want to have such a handy reference.

Good information on a wide variety of fish. I will add this to my library for future reference.

I take it with me to the store to help figure out what I want and how to cook what I buy.

Beautiful photos and concise, accurate information. I found some new fish ideas for cooking.

similar to meat and produce issues, small enough to carry and reasonably priced, only seven more words, three, two, one, zero.

Very well laid out with lots of informative content. Tips for identifying, buying, cooking and storing a vast variety of fish and seafood. I could not be happier with it.

Good book and worth having.
