Summary: It truly IS "The Cook's Indispensable Companion!!"
Review: I love to eat seafood! My problem was that I just didn't know to identify, clean or cook any of it. The very idea of going into a fish store gave me apoplexy. I needed professional help, and it arrived in the form of this excellent, and informative book. This book has it all! From the opening pages, author James Peterson takes the reader from the market to the table and answers every possible question that the reader may have about the buying, storing, and preparation of seafood. He discusses the various ways of preparing seafood such as braising, grilling & broiling, poaching & steaming. Finfish and shellfish are both identified in an excellent directory. Peterson also gives us ideas about other ways that we can prepare seafood from the simple soups & salades to the elaborate mousses and souffles. There is a glossery of foreign ingredients and a list of sources so that you can get everything needed for your receipes. If you want a definitive book on seafood preparation, this is the only one you'll ever need!!

Summary: A Book Even a Mother Could Love...
Review: I've made 2 recipes from this cookbook in the past few weeks...Snapper Marinated in Sake and Miso Soup with Shrimp. The Snapper recipe is amazing. Some of the ingredients for these recipes may be hard to find for some people, especially people not in a large metropolitan area, but they are easily found on the internet. Just describing this recipe to my boyfriends' mother, she made it that same week and her teenage son's friends ate all of it. If young people will eat it, it has to be good...right?

Summary: The best seafood book out there
Review: This is a great book for anyone who loves seafood and has reasonable access to it. Unlike some other cookbooks (charlie trotter's seafood cookbook comes to mind), this book delivers excellent recipes with ingredients that for the most part can be found in your local grocery store. This is a cookbook for food lovers of all skill levels as it has an array of recipies with differing levels of difficulty, but, luckilly, explicit directions are given on everything from making the actual dish to selecting the seafood in the supermarket. If you are looking for a great cookbook to explore wonderful seafood dishes usually not found in restaurants, look no further. A personal favorite of mine in this book is the striped bass stuffed with mushrooms, spinach and shrimp.
