"This book teaches you how to select the freshest fish, how to store it, and how to determine when it is perfectly cooked. It also offers 100 simple, flavor-intense recipes that will turn even the fish skeptic into a fish lover," claims author Hugh Carpenter.
A Napa Valley Californian, Carpenter also penned Fast Entrées and Fast Appetizers in the Fast series of cookbooks with short ingredients lists and concise instructions. The photo illustrations are by his wife, Teri Sandison.
The recipes are divided into chapters representing the nine most popular fish varieties in American markets: Black Cod (Sablefish), Catfish, Halibut, Salmon, Snapper, Sole, Swordfish, Trout and Tuna.
