Fish on a First-Name Basis

(Thomas Dunne Books, 2006)
Compare Prices

If you want to learn a lot about fish and seafood, but don't want to read some dry, textbook-like tome, then this is the book for you. Rob DeBorde is a writer for Alton Brown's Good Eats and hosts his own animated internet cooking show, Deep Fried, Live! with Tako the Octopus. Needless to say, DeBorde adds a good dose of humor and irreverence to this interesting and well-researched book.

You will learn how to buy, store, and cook a variety of fish, as well as learn how they are caught, environmental considerations, and how the fish lives. As an added bonus, every chapter is full of recipes.
