Review
Publishers WeeklyFor anyone interested in finding a healthy alternative to red meat, this book is a helpful resource. With classic dishes like "Beer-Battered Cod" and "Mussels Pro-vencal," and more adventurous dishes like "Octopus, Crushed Tomatoes, and Kalamatas over Pap-pardelle" and "Malaysian Fish Soup" there is something for everyone. [A] fine guidebook for learning to deal with a cornucopia of seafood.”
Francine Segan, author of Dolci: Italys Sweets and Opera Lovers Cookbook
Destined to become a classic, Fish Market is the only seafood cookbook youll ever need! Deftly written, with clear, easy-to-follow directions. Perfectly spiced with helpful hints, Kathy's splendid book both demystifies and inspires. Enticing recipes, from simple to sublime, are perfect for both experienced gourmets who would like to discover new types of fish and novice cooks wanting to eat less meat.”
Louisa Kasdon, The Phoenix Magazine
I love this book! It takes the grim out of the seafood and sustainability conversation and replaces it with joy. Love the fish-by-fish recipes with offbeat but easy flavors. Makes me want to try out a new fish, and new fish recipe, every day of the week.”
