Description

With Charlotte Knox providing exceptional graphics, Davidson introduces a selection of fish and seafood in an unusual combination of fish lore, fact, and cookery. Along with bits of interest on life cycles, habits, and physical characteristics, Davidson identifies each species by scientific name and lists common names as they are used in various languages. A single recipe follows, with catch substitutions and cross-references to other suitable recipes provided. With more than 140 recipes (incld. many cooking tips) the book's oversize format gives artist Knox ample space for colorful illustrations, which combine scientific detailing with painterly style to marvelous effect making this an attractive and informative look at the bounty of the seas.
