simplifying the results."---Gray's Sporting Journal

knowledge about cooking."---Publishers Weekly
The Shellfish Cookbook offers a complete course on the world's edible
shellfish, from baby shrimp to Alaska king crab and lesser-known species
such as bulldozers and lobsterettes. Steamed blue crabs, stir-fried
shrimp, crawfish jambalaya and hundreds of other dishes are served up
with a good dose of A. D.'s wit and practical advice on the varieties
that make good eating, where they can be found, and how best to preserve
their flavor. Ideas for frying, broiling, grilling, steaming, and baking
shellfish as well as soups, stews, breakfasts, salads, appetizers, and
seafood medleys will help any cook--novice or experienced--prepare expert
shellfish meals.
