Since it was first published in 1979, North Atlantic Seafood has become the most authoritative handbook to every kind of fish and crustacean, mollusc and other edible marine creature that can be found in the North Atlantic. The first part of the book catalogues each species of seafood, giving the name in twelve different languages, helpful facts about the species and useful tips on how to cook it. The second part features sections covering traditional recipes from each country around the North Atlantic. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best buy on North Atlantic Seafood, 29 Nov 2003
By Nicholas Symes (DK-1360 Copenhagen K Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: North Atlantic Seafood (Paperback)
Being a professional within North Atlantic Seafood I know there are miles between books on this specific topic. One would have guessed that a lack of quantity will mean a lack of quality. That is not the case with Alan Davidson's book. It is the most thorough piece of work on North Atlantic Seafood ever made. Alan Davidson knows that North Atlantic Seafood is not only fish, but surely also crustaceans, and he has even included sea-urchin. But Alan Davidson forgot the snow crab (as one of the largest export items from Greenland). And like it or not: the Greenlanders, the Faro Islanders, the Icelanders and the Norwegians do hunt and eat sea mammals. So I will save the fifth star to the next edition which hopefully will include these 'minor details'.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Entry Level Lexicography for North Atlantic Seafood, 28 Dec 2005
This review is from: North Atlantic Seafood (Paperback)
My 1979 edition of North Atlantic Seafood came from a remainders table at Dillons, in the mid-80's. Since, as an amateur but enthusiastic seafood cook, I have worn out the binding on my hardback volume. The author's clear and concise description of the wide variety of North Atlantic seafood, and particularly comprehensive coverage of shellfish, is a gift to the culinary world. Through Mr. Davidson's descriptions, it is possible to find interesting varieties of product for the better, more sophisticated recipes of specialist chefs. Buy Davidson for his lexicography. Others' works for recipes!
