Readers will be guided through the proper techniques of filleting, boning, and home-smoking, and will discover a wide array of simple recipes such as Risotto Nero, or Deep-fried Cod in Beer Batter, to more extravagant menu items including Noisettes of Salmon with Cucumber and Fennel Salsa, or Braised Octopus in Rioja.

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.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Leiths Fish Bible is the only fish cookbook you will ever need. With innumerable recipes from all over the world, it has something for every occasion from a simple supper to an elegant dinner. As with every book from the classic Leiths series, all recipes are fool-proof, easy to use with an emphasis on proper technique. Here are many of the classics - dishes such as Sole Meuniere, Risotto Nero, Lobster Thermidor and Deep-fried Cod in Beer Batter - alongside the contemporary - Mackerel, Rice Noodle and Peanut Salad, Noisettes of Salmon with Cucumber and Fennel Salsa - and the exotic - Braised Octopus in Rioja, Seafood Laksa and Sushi Nigiri. Chapters are divided by fish groups (with alternative fish given for every recipe) with an extensive chapter on Shellfish as well as Preserved Fish. There is also detailed information on methods of preparation and cooking techniques such as filleting and boning, alongside preparing shellfish and home-smoking. This new edition has been revised, updated and redesigned with several new recipes and stunning new photographs. Comprehensive and authoritative, it is an essential book for every kitchen. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002425430
