From the Back Cover
Fantastic fish for seafood fanciers!

If you love fish you'll love this book. It tells you all those facts about seafood that you want to know, from a rundown on the varieties available to how to choose the best, keep them that way once you get them home and, of course, cook them.

There are so many good reasons to eat fish, and your health is just one of them. They're powered with the only fats you can honestly eat to your heart's content - polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids - as well as protein and vitamins A and D.

Carolyn Humphries proves that just about the only thing you can't do with fish is serve it up as a dessert. And with recipes that include everything from sublime dinner-party dishes to cost-conscious family favourites, you can decide whether it will be lobster thermidor tonight or traditional fish and chips.

Customer Reviews

Superb
This recipe book is a superb addition to anyone's culinary library - clearly not every recipe will suit every person but it is inconceivable that you would not find a significant number of useful recipes in here and even if you found just one nugget, then considering the price, it would be well worth it.

The variety of recipes in the 1000 series is simply staggering - to say you are stuck for choice is an understatement.

Ok, so there are no photographs but against that, the books don't cost a fortune either and they are compact.

You really cannot go wrong with any of these recipe books and when you consider they cost little more than 1 issue of pretty much any food magazine, well, they truly are an absolute bargain.

Buy this one, buy them all - you won't be disappointed.

Boring...
I purchased this book along with the 1000 Vegetarian, It is almost as bad! Wish I could send them both back....Dull recipe's, not for the experienced cook....couldn't even give them away!
