The
Delia Collection: Fish
by Delia Smith
 Amazon.co.uk
Review
There may be many pretenders to her throne, but as The
Delia Collection: Fish comprehensively demonstrates,
Delia Smith can still see off her rivals, even those
with trendy haircuts and manic TV personalities. She
is still seen by most who tackle the Art of Cookery
as the most sane and balanced voice in the field and
there are few houses which don't boast one of her invaluable
books.
This
volume may not replace earlier Delia books in a similar
vein, but it provides as useful and basic a resource
as any cookery enthusiast is likely to need. The large,
attractive format is always at the service of the individual
recipes, which are drawn from 33 years of recipe writing
and television. While Delia followers will find much
here to stimulate, this is an excellent entry-level
book for those new to the doyenne of TV chefs. Fish
confines itself to the main categories: white fish;
salmon; trout; oily and other fish; and smoked fish.
The recipes varying from the concise, such as a very
straightforward Fried Plaice Fillets, to the more advanced
(a mouth-watering preparation for Fillets of Sole Véronique).
A particularly attractive recipe is that for Smoked
Salmon Tart, which is an object lesson in concision
and practicality--if the pastry isn't--we're told--rising
in the centre, we should prick it a couple of times
and press it back down with our hands.
Instructions
are as direct and uncomplicated as one would expect
(this, of course, is Delia's trademark) and up-to-date
conversion tables are included, along with an impressive
section on fish extras, making this an invaluable and
user-friendly guide. - Barry Forshaw
Synopsis

Another
great Delia book (January 2004)
Reviewer: A reader
I
thought this book would be full of weird and wonderful
fish recipes, but it's not. I haven't had any difficulty
finding any of the fish for the recipes (recipes are
included for halibut, squid, cod, haddock, lemon or
dover sole, plaice, herring, mackerel, kippers, salmon,
trout, sardines, skate wings, smoked haddock, smoked
salmon, tuna, rainbow trout and whiting and hake are
mentioned as optional ones - I find even my local
supermarket stocks these). There's even a recipe for
tinned salmon fishcakes along with all the dinner
party type recipes. I'm also dying to try the foaming
hollandaise recipe - I've never heard of it before.
All in all, I'm thrilled with this book - up to Delia's
usual high standard.
