Using the words and experiences of the fishermen themselves, auctioneers, processors and fish merchants, this book debunks any idea that fishermen are wilfully destroying the very thing that provides them with a living, showing instead the initiatives they have taken to protect stocks for the future. While celebrating the positive aspects of Cornish fishing, “Cornish Fishing and Seafood” does not shy away from recent difficulties – decommissioning, cuts in fish quotas, and shortages of manpower.

It also looks forwards, and outlines the steps being taken to ensure that Cornish fishermen and Cornish boats keep fishing profitably in the twenty-first century. “Cornish Fishing and Seafood” has been written with support from the industry, at sea and onshore, so that profits from sales can help the Duchy Fish Quota Company to keep Cornish fishing quota in Cornwall.

The recipes group fish not just by species, but by shape: large fleshy fish, flat fish, small round fish, crustaceans and so on–a sensible approach, since within these categories the fish are to an extent interchangeable. Austerely, the recipes are neither prefaced with an introductory blurb nor sourced, but they are of the most distinguished provenance. Salmon en Croute with Currants and Ginger, for example is a famous George Perry-Smith recipe; the neighbouring Escalopes of Salmon with Sorrel Sauce derives from the Triosgros brother; while the interestingly strange Pernod and olive oil dressing with which Stein anoints grilled Dublin Bay prawns comes from Alexandre Dumas by way of Elizabeth David (it also includes mustard, soy sauce and tarragon). This is not to accuse Stein of plagiarism: he has simply collected the very finest seafood recipes and filtered everything through his characteristic simplicity and emphasis on freshness, quality and flavour. The result is a book of quite exceptional quality and usefulness. One hesitates to use the word bible, but if seafood can have one, this may be it. –Robin Davidson

Over the years, through his television programmes and books, Rick Stein has done much to inform us about fish and to encourage us to cook it for ourselves, however, many of us still feel nervous about cooking it at home. Rick Stein’s Seafood brings together his knowledge and expertise, and includes 200 of his tried-and-tested recipes.

It is divided into three separate sections: Techniques; Recipes and, finally, an A to Z of Fish. The techniques section covers all the main preparation and cooking methods for each type of fish (round, flat, shellfish etc), while the A-Z of fish is a comprehensive encyclopedia of fish and seafood including US, Australian and European fish. The recipe section includes all the essential basic recipes, such as stocks, sauces, batters etc. Useful cross references link all sections.

Rick Stein’s Seafood has been an international bestseller and was awarded the highly coveted James Beard Foundation Cookbook of the Year Award in 2005.

‘With passion and commitment thousands of “small” people built Eden as a symbol of hope in action…We may all have feet of clay, but that shouldn’t stop us trying to make a difference….We say, “Demand the impossible”.’ So said Tim Smit and thus was the impossible delivered: a living theatre of plants and people and their interdependence, housed in a disused china clay pit and featuring the world’s largest greenhouses.
