Tons of books, but none of those. Yesterday someone told me she found a fifty dollar bill tucked into the page of a cookbook at her house. Money would certainly be safe in one of mine!

yes, the guy knows his fish.

for techniques and info about fish its the best book i've ever seen, for recipes, its good, a good mix between simple and complex.

i haven't tried a lot of them, some don't appeal to me at all but its defiantly one of the cooking books i'm always going back to.

my fish bible 🙂
