The Encyclopedia of Fish Cookery

What a great recipe book. Not only does it have an astounding variety of wonderful recipes, but the pictures and other content accompanying them are entertaining as well.30~ years ago, around the time that this came out, my dad's ex-wife Marta bought him a copy. He treasured it, not only for sentimental reasons, but for the book itself. Some time in the past year, it was stolen from us, presumably by one of our roommates.He was disappointed by losing it, Father's Day is rolling around, and I love a good oceanic meal, so this was an obvious choice for a gift!He hates it when we kids spend a lot of money on him, but this was more than low enough to please him. I paid $12 for an absolutely flawless copy of this book. The only damage was inflicted by me; I made a tiny tear in the book sleeve when I was putting it back in its packaging.I can't wait to give it to him, and until then, it makes for great skimming material.

Excellent recipes for anglers who like to eat their catch.

Very good condition for a used purchase

My in-laws had wanted this book for years but the original price for a new copy was outrageous. I offered to give it to them as a gift but they warned me that they would return it because of the price. When I saw the nice used copies on Amazon, I bought it. My in-laws were thrilled.

Really encyclopedic, the author was quite widely traveled. Because it was written 20 -30 years ago it doesn't cover the vast quantity of farm raised fish seen these days. Great authentic regional recipes.

In better condition than stated. Came quickly. Very happy.

Its quite old but it covers fish like no other book. It is totally underated. I am proud to own it. For each fish there are one or more of the most common recipes. Its an encyclopedic cookbook.

Very, very detailed and comprehensive account of every species of fish and mollusk and how to prepare them. Worth every penny.
