Big Book of Fish & Shellfish

Description

For those who love fish - or lobster, scallops, mussels, octopus, oysters, or crab - but are in need of a definitive guide to making it at home, here's a Big Book that's a whale of a catch. This tell-all volume helps the home cook not only select the fish or shellfish from the market, but also then turn it into a delicious meal in a few easy-to-follow steps. The book is organised by type of seafood, so if, say, snapper is not available that day, a quick substitution can be made with flounder, or whatever similar fish is freshest. The author's tips for selection, preparation, and cooking techniques (including poaching, steaming, baking, grilling, frying, and roasting) allow the reader to cook with confidence.
