Rick Stein discovers great dishes and small delicacies amongst the tidal estuaries, shingle banks, and rocky shores of Britain. Rick travels from the bleak Suffolk coast—where fishermen scrape a living catching cod—to the wild, clear waters of Scotland's lochs, bringing back an abundance of stories and imaginative, colorful recipes. Rick describes the fish-catching and fish-eating traditions of each area as well as details of the local life, legends, and literature.
