Recently awarded two coveted Michelin stars for his eponymous fish restaurant in Rock, Cornwall, Nathan Outlaw is one of the most exciting upcoming chefs in Britain today. British seafood is his passion. His style of cooking is unique and simple, allowing the individual flavours of the ingredients to shine through. Sourcing sustainable fish and local produce in season, he uses his considerable flair to take simple fish cooking to new heights. In Modern British Seafood Nathan shares the secrets of his unique approach and provides a tempting collection of original recipes. Beginning with a guide to sourcing and buying, followed by a step-by-step guide to preparing all types of fish and shellfish, he then explains cooking techniques, showing how to pan-fry, grill, bake, steam, barbecue and deep-fry fish to perfection, avoiding the pitfalls of overcooking. The core of the book is divided into the four main groups: flat, round, oily and shell fish, and within this structure 30 fish are dealt with individually. The descriptive text for each tells you the optimum size to buy and eat, the best cooking methods and which herbs, seasonings and sauces go with each fish, allowing you to create a dish quickly and simply. Then, for each fish, Nathan gives 2-3 recipes, ranging from everyday quick dishes he cooks at home, through recipes for leisurely lunches or dinners with family or friends, to signature dishes from his restaurant - the sort you might cook for a dinner party. In all there are over 100 recipes, all easy to replicate at home. Photographed on location in Cornwall, this superb new fish bible also has a real sense of place.

(What's this?)
A feast for the eyes and taste buds with plenty of well thought out seafood based recipes, take things further by going seasonal, as with all recipe books follow the instructions the first time and if you like it brilliant if not make changes to suit your tastes. There are many things where small adjustments in seasoning, ingredients quantities or cooking times can make things just that bit better.
This is a good book full of ideas and some new to me recipes a keeper

(What's this?)
This is a very good cookbook. The excellently named Nathan Outlaw is obviously a fine chef who cares deeply about fish and seafood and who knows a great deal about the subject. The book is attractively produced, clearly set out and illustrated with beautiful photographs.
One of the best aspects of this book for me is the general information about various fish - when they are in season, how best to cook them, sustainability and so on. The recipes generally allow the flavours of the fish to speak for themselves, enhanced by delicious sauces and vegetable accompaniments. I must admit that, for me, most will probably be more of a guide and a source of inspiration than recipes which I will use as they are in the book; they are pretty complex restaurant recipes and although I'm a fairly competent cook I baulk at some of them. Also, my kitchen isn't liberally stocked with things like stock made from the roasted bones of a turbot. There are simpler recipes, but in general this is at a level beyond what I would normally cook other than for a special event.
There is a lot of really valuable stuff here, though, and there are plenty of ideas which can be adapted. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in cooking fish and seafood - there is lots in here to interest and inspire.

(What's this?)
So, I've looked at some of the other reviews - good and not so good.
In my eyes it's pure cookery porn!
The whole book looks fabulous, the recipes are often complex but sound and look wonderful.
I have quite a shelf of cookery books and I seldom slavishly follow a recipe, but I do spend time looking at them.
The DK book of Seafood is another cookery "porn" edition - this is as classy and in my eyes as good.
Will I spend hours sourcing the finest Cornish fish and then slave over the cooker to produce one of Nathan's masterpieces - probably not. Do I enjoy looking through it and reading the recipes and useful fish facts, etc. YES YES YES ! ! !
I must admit to enjoying non-fiction books - Wolf Hall isn't for me - Nathan Outlaw's British Seafood is my sort of book. It would make a GREAT present for a fish foodie.
I THINK THAT THIS IS A WONDERFUL COOKERY BOOK!
