261. Off The Hook: Reflections and Recipes from an Old Salt by Roger Fitzgerald and Susan Volland (MCO book #7)

BOOK REVIEW: Off The Hook - Reflections and Recipes from an Old Salt by Roger Fitzgerald and Susan Volland

Food delivery services have been less than commendable during this MCO period as they are too overwhelmed to handle the high volume of deliveries. What better way to satiate cravings than to imagine food, especially the bounty of the sea.

Fish and shellfish are my particular favourites with the briny flavours and complexities that come with the ocean. In this book, seafood is at the forefront through the author's personal stories with useful hints and tips.

By turns a New England schoolmaster, captain of an Alaskan commercial fishing boat, and, for many years, journalist for the international seafood industry, the author has trolled the seven seas to net the inside scoop on seafood.

Want to learn how to know a nice fish when you meet one or the tricks to scoping out an excellent seafood restaurant? Curious to know how to pick the best salmon at your local fishmonger's? The author answers all these questions and many more, taking you on an insider's tour of seafood's greatest delights.

While the author charms and inspires you with tales of the sea, try out the mouth-watering dishes ranging from contemporary favourites to the classic. If you're looking for a salty story or a great recipe, this book will reel you in. Flatten the curve and stay at home! Happy reading!
