Amazon.co.uk Review
Rick Stein, British TV seafood cooking instructor and seafood restaurant owner, wasn't able to get every recipe he loves into his first book, Taste of the Sea. So he wrote Fruits of the Sea.
Where Taste of the Sea was a kind of introduction to seafood cooking for those a bit hesitant about trying different kinds of fish, Fruits of the Sea is more like Stein's launching pad. He assumes he is preaching to an enthusiastic choir. Much of his information is right to the point, and his style of instruction is more refined. All the techniques for prepping different kinds of fish are described in clear language as well as illustrated in detailed photos. Included, too, is a discussion of many of the unusual ingredients Stein pulls into his recipes for that extra dash of brilliant flavour--preserved lemons, for example, or kaffir lime leaves. It comes as little surprise, then, that Stein opens with recipes like Basque Squid Stew, Moroccan Fish Tagine, Seafood in a Crab and Ginger Broth, and Mussels with Turmeric, Cumin, and Coriander.
He breaks his recipes into soup, stews, and clear broths; light lunch dishes; hot and spicy fish; deep-fried fish; summer fish and salads; fish from colder climates; elegant fish dishes; quick and simple fish; hand-held and party food; and food to finish with. As in the first book, you'll also find basic stocks and sauces and a list of alternative fish for the American and Australian markets. The user-friendly Fruits of the Sea will launch anyone, even a reader who may have been a bit reluctant to take the plunge, on a discovery of seafood. --Schuyler Ingle
Product Description
In Fruits of the Sea Rick explores Australia and Brittany as well as his beloved Cornwall. The book includes not only hot and spicy dishes, fishy salads, quick fish and elegant fish but also a selection of the most tasty desserts imaginable! This title, along with Rick Stein's Taste of the Sea and Rick Stein's Seafood Odyssey has been re-released with a modernised cover to bring a fresh look to the series. Rick Stein's Fruits of the Sea is a second bestseller for this charismatic Cornishman whose passion and enthusiasm have propelled fish cookery to a new prominence in Britain. With over 150 original recipes, including exotica such as Pan-fried Trout with Oyster Mushrooms and Escalope of Salmon with Champagne and Chive Sauce and simpler fare like Fillet of Cod with Saffron Mashed Potatoes and Warm Salad Nioise with Preserved Tuna, Rick Stein's latest book is the perfect accompaniment to Taste of the Sea and reaffirms Rick's reputation as the nation's leading seafood chef.

Format:Paperback
Rick Stein is not only a superb chef but his writing is clear, simple and enthusiastic - like his food. He gives plenty of tips from what utensils to buy, to how to store fish and how to make excellant stocks. All the way through the book he carries you along with his passion and almost cooly, simplistic aproach. If you like fish - or even if you don't - I am sure you will find this book rewarding, not only for the food but also the interesting little tit bits he incorporates.

Format:Paperback
Rick Stein's passion for seafood is only equaled by his skill and artistry in seafood preparation. This is a "must have" recipe book, especially if your not over keen on sea food. Stein's straight forward and simplistic approach make sea food in general a much more palatable choice to what is basically an underrated and easily accessible food source. You will be amazed at how easily and quickly you can produce mouth watering dishes with the humble Cod,sea bass or just a crab, and quicker than the Que for a fast food burger! Rick Stein's down to earth character helps give a real feeling that you can tackle all the recipe's and the instructions are as clear and precise as they need to be, after all says Rick "a recipe is just a basic guide not something to be followed religiously". This book has certainly opened my eyes to seafood and steers you away from the days of "steamed fish" that probably turns most people away from seafood in the first place. This is one book that will help you see just what you have been missing and After all we do live on an Island surrounded by sea

I bought this book for the Thai fish cakes originally. Since then I've cooked many of the recipes and they are all excellent. You'll find one to suit any occasion. There's a guide to help you prepare your fish and a list of substitutes in case you can't find the one recommended. Rick Stein also inspires you to try fish that you wouldn't normally. I'm a fan! (There's even a section on puddings as well.)
