Good advice on buying fish and preparing it that's usually realistic for the average city-dweller. The best part is the introductions to each type of seafood, so you can learn a bit more about cleaning and preparing it. The mussels section helped me get over my trepidations, and now we've made it three times.
The disappointment is the indexing. It's not always easy to find a new type of fish you found at the store. If the index helped you find basa or swai, then I'd give it 4 st...more

In a recent article in the New York Times, the author indicated the book is somewhat out of date.
Nevertheless, the book is packed with interesting recipes and fascinating information about fish and other seafood.

This is not as good as other things he had done--Fish without a DOubt is my current favorite
Not as much variety as *How to Cook Everything*, but the recipes I have tried have been delicious.
THE book on fish!
A very good guide to purchasing, preparing, and cooking fish. A fair number of these recipes appear in How To Cook Everything. This is possibly more useful as a guide to different types of fish than for the recipes. I like to cook fish very simply, but I find myself using this book as sort of an encyclopedia of fish, and it serves that purpose well. Also, the color photography is gorgeous.
I read cookbooks to get ideas, learn about foods, and also to find recipes. I find that, very often, some cookbooks are better for one than the others. This book is great for all of the above. The first part discusses various fish and styles of cooking. The recipes are organized by type of fish, which is very nice. We've enjoyed every recipe I have tried so far.
If you have no idea how to cook fish, this is the book for you. The recipes we tried were fabulous!
so far all the recipes I have made from this book have been fabulous!
