Fish : The Basics

Rating:
Summary: Good content, difficult to get at
Review: I have used this book for several years, having purchased it in 1992, and I have always found it annoying to find the kind of recipe I was looking for. The book is laid out by more by method and type of fish than by fish species, and this is not how the casual cook thinks of looking for recipes. After struggling with it for 10 years, I found several superior fish cookbooks by some really stellar talents, including no less than James Beard and Alan Davidson, plus Mark Bittman and James Peterson. All of these books are worthy. Beard's book in particular, is well suited to the occasional cook. Recipes are clear, simple, and economical with ingredients.
