Book Reviews of Fish Without a Doubt: The Cook's Essential Companion

Book Review: Fabulous cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has a recipe for linguine and clams that was printed in Gourmet magazine; I've made that a half-dozen times and it's always great. If you do that recipe, triple the chili flake to increase the awesomeness. I finally bought the book and have done a handful of the dishes in it thus far. Overwhelming positives include a) the recipes are clear and easy to follow, they're not easy, but they're straightforward and you can get the dish right the first time, b) he includes substitutes for every receipe which is fantastic if you can't find a certain fish, and c) he has various side dishes or complements and even details how to plate dishes, which is wonderful. After making a half-dozen underwhelming halibut filets from other sources, I've now made two smashes in a row (the poached halibut with green curry and sauteed with harissa tomato sauce). Really good book, buy it.

Summary of Fish Without a Doubt: The Cook's Essential Companion

Comprehensive. Friendly. Indispensable. With more than 250 simple and delicious recipes.

No doubt about it, fish is a cook's dream. Fast. Low in fat, versatile, and healthful, it's even brain food. No other fish cookbook contains such a comprehensive selection of approachable, contemporary recipes. It's written by a pair of experts: a nationally known three-star seafood chef whose true passion is teaching home cooks, and an award-winning writer and sought-after food authority. Arranged for the cook's complete convenience, Fish without a Doubt encompasses chapters on all the techniques of fish cookery-from poaching to grilling to saut?ing-as well as on all the most popular seafood dishes-from appetizers, to soups and salads, to burgers and pasta.

The recipes range from updated versions of classics (Trout Almondine, Linguine with Clams, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes) to the latest favorites (Steamed Black Bass with Sizzling Ginger,Tuna Burgers with Cucumber Relish, Thai-Style Mussels). It includes slews of quickies for weeknight specials (Broiled Fillets with Butter and Herbs) and centerpieces for splashier occasions (A Big Poached Char). Featuring only seafood that is not overfished, Fish without a Doubt provides the latest information for the eco-conscious cook about our last wild frontier.
