 Very Accessible Fish Recipes October 10, 2008
I have only cooked 3 recipes but they were all wonderful. I have always been a bit hesitant to cook fish but this book is bringing me out of my shell (pun intended). The writers really break down the complexity and discuss process in very understandable terms. I highly recommend this book for the novice fish cooker.

Wonderful cookbook! The contents include cooking methods and recipes, but I find the sections such as how to buy fish, detailed descriptions of various fishes, and which fish to avoid, equally useful. Somehow this author had taken the mystery out of cooking fish, and the results of his recipes are very good. I've owned hundreds of cookbooks, many of which are no longer on my shelves. This one is a keeper.
Tasty -- and useful even for those who already cook a lot of fish July 18, 2008

This book was described to me as being for people who are very uncertain of cooking fish at home, so I wasn't sure how useful it would be for a family that already cooks fish relatively frequently. The answer: it's a great cookbook regardless of your comfort level with fish because of the varied recipes and how tasty the results are. The sauces, marinades, and spice combinations are different than I've seen elsewhere and the results have made us go back for more. Our favorite so far is a bizarre-sounding ceviche with Asian ingredients like fish sauce and hoisin sauce. My husband, who loves Mexican-style ceviche, said, "We're making that?" and afterwards said, "We're making that again!" One feature we like is how the recipes call for a particular fish but have a section labeled "Accept Substitutes" that suggests other fish or shellfish that will work equally well. That gives us latitude when shopping. As another reviewer mentioned, some of the best recipes are for things that go *with* the fish. We loved a tomatillo salsa that we made along with some grilled shrimp and squid.

I have searched for a fairly easy to use fish cookbook for years. I am very good, male, home cook -- my wife supplies a meal 3 times a week while I cook 4 days a week -- who really likes this book.

I don't always agree with 'Gourmet' but they were on the money with this book. Cleanly written, covered all the basic questions and then some, and also informed the reader of how overfishing can hurt the fish population. I will purchase this book for my library.
