About this item
Quite possibly the only fish and seafood cookbook you'll ever need, from the author of the James Beard Award-winning website Hunter Angler Gardener Cook. So many of us tense up when faced with a piece of fish or a bag of shrimp. It's understandable. Whether we wake up before dawn to catch our fish or bring it home from the store, we all know that fish aren't cheap, in time or money -- and we just don't want to mess things up. Hook, Line, and Supper aims to banish that fear forever by breaking down the essence of fish and seafood cookery allowing cooks of all stripes to bring out the best in whatever comes home from the market, or the water. Hook, Line, and Supper zeroes in on broad categories of fish, both freshwater and saltwater, that can substitute for each other, and provides clear techniques and carefully developed master recipes that will help you become a more competent and complete fish and seafood cook.
