A good book, not as many pictures as I expected, but it is an older type cookbook.
I am finding it interesting to read, as much as I am enjoying the recipes.

This covers preparing and cooking just about every fish and is thus rare. My only other recollection is a River Cottage publication which too is useful too and represents one of their better efforts.The writing by Grigson is as always excellent making it a good read too rather than just for reference.It does however cover this role as well and the book is easy to use and limited to what you need but with useful insights into the subject matter.
It should be on the bookshelf in the kitchen of all fish lovers and cooks. You will, in my opinion,never probably never need another book on fish but if you do check out River Cottage especially if you wish to make your own smoker.

If you only have space for two or three cookery books, the Gregson books are the best, as they contain recipes from a wide range of authors, cultures and ages, which are very easy to follow. So nice that they are back in print – I used to give them as presents.

A wonderful book. Forthright, clear instructions and lots of infomation regarding each fish species, and when they are at their best to buy. A great book!

All good

Simply a joy to read. While I do get some tips and ideas to convert to my own dishes, these pages are much more to me than that. For those who haven’t yet discovered her façon d’écrire, I can stronly recommend any of Jane’s, very comprehensive journals, full of personal accounts and lively anecdotes. I’ll often read this as positive stimulation before going to the market. Enjoy!

Good condition and arrived quickly from this seller. Was glad to have this in my kitchen again as I have always used it loads. It is the definitive guide to cooking fish by one of the best writers in the business. My cat aimed and fired at my last edition, so no more fish for him????
