 Fish
by Tom Aikens
Product Description
 We
are constantly being told about the benefits of eating
fish and seafood - high in protein, low in fat and rich
in nutrients. Yet we also know that species like cod
and tuna are in danger of extinction while unscrupulous
trawlers are over-fishing waters around the world. In
this stunning new collection of fish recipes, Tom Aikens
takes readers with him on a voyage of discovery.
Having travelled to fish markets and spoken to fishermen
worldwide, his recipes include new takes on ever-popular
fish, such as sea bass, scallops and oysters, as well
as ideas for lesser known but underfished, species like
megrim sole, ling and gurnard.
While urging us to ensure that we eat only sustainably
sourced, line and net-caught fish, Aikens organises
the book by cooking method - frying, baking, poaching,
grilling, marinating and steaming. Each chapter has
a dazzling array of mouthwatering dishes such as:
- Whole
Bream Baked in Sea Salt and Fennel Seeds
- Deep
Fried Squid with Lime and Aioli
- Grilled
Sardines with Thyme and Garlic
- Scallops
with Pan-fried Pork Belly
- Crab
Salad with Lemon and Orange
- Barbecued
Mullet with Dill
Beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned
photography, including step-by-step photographs for
techniques such as descaling and filleting, this is
a mouthwatering cookbook written by a chef who is passionate
about his work. It is destined to become an essential
addition to any cook's kitchen.
