Product Description

Product Description

Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking is a book that simplifies, once and for all, the process of preparing fish. Organized in an easy–reference, A–Z format, Fish gives you the culinary lowdown on seventy kinds of fish and shellfish commonly found in American supermarkets and fish stores. Each entry describes how the fish is sold (fillets, steaks, whole, salted), other names it goes by, how the fish should look, and buying tips. Fish begins with general guidelines on how to store, prepare, and cook fish, whether sauteing, frying, grilling, or smoking, and you will find easy–to–follow illustrations of such important basics as how to gut and fillet a fish. Fish also includes up–to–the–minute information on the health benefits of fish in our diet. In addition, there are more than five hundred recipes and variations, all of which use low–fat, high–flavor ingredients to accent the intrinsic natures of the individual fish rather than mask them. And the vast majority of the recipes are ready in less than thirty minutes.


From the Author

This book is the result of 15 years of passionate research.
When I finally decided the time was right to write FISH, I had been writing about food for 15 years, and cooking fish almost every day during that period. I couldn't get enough of it, yet I realized that most people were intimidated by fish. That's why I organized the book so that it would help people buy fish as well as cook it. In a world in which seafood is an international commodity, buying is the true challenge. Cooking fish, in fact, is easy: If you can cook vegetables, you can cook seafood.My book makes it easy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is thorough and complete., 7 May 1998
By A Customer
This cookbook is thorough and accurate in educating anyone on the selecting,buying, and preparing of seafood. I was well prepared after reading this cookbook to visit my seafood shop and intelligently discuss seafood with my fish monger. It allowed me to ask pertinent questions that I would not otherwise have known to ask. I was also able to judge if my fish monger was knowledgable and honest in giving me information regarding my seafood purchases. The recipes were tried and true, allowing the homecook to prepare first time dishes to perfection . I particularly like the common sense issues such as suggesting in each recipe several different types of fish which could be substituted and the author's wonderful approach to presenting the truth about fish consumption. I daresay the health police are valiantly exposed in their misrepresentation of the facts on seafood. This is a excellent book for the person who makes seafood a part of their regular menu.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is so fabulous that I have two copies!, 14 Jul 1998
By A Customer
The recipes are the best: simple, original, and endlessly variable. Bittman really knows his fish--I've made at least 40 recipes from this book and not a single clunker!
