The choosing, preparing and cooking of fish is a passion shared by millions across the globe. Author Paul Peacock has had a growing love affair with fish for over forty years, and this book is a culinary celebration of virtually every fish and seafood variety.

The wealth of fish recipes in this book cover every possible occasion, whether you are making a staple family favourite, a romantic dinner for two, a delicious barbeque, fabulous finger food, a memorable fish course or thoroughly fishy dinner party. One thing unites these recipes, though: they all provide a gourmet explosion of flavour.

This book teaches invaluable everyday tips on buying fish in the modern world, taking special consideration of which ones are sustainable and healthy. It also takes you through the processes of transporting, cleaning and filleting your fish, as well as showing you how to combine ingredients to create the perfect culinary experience. From Jellied Eels to Goan-style Prawn Curry, and from curing and smoking fish Scandinavian-style to killing crab and lobster with the greatest humanity, this is the one-stop fish bible.
