Following the success of Simon Courtauld’s first anthology, Food for Thought: Fruit, Herbs, and Vegetables, comes a second, equally entertaining collection by this top food writer. Filled with witty observations, delicious descriptions, and eye-opening anecdotes--as well as quirky illustrations--this lively guide navigates ocean, sea, river, and freshwater stream to produce some mouth-watering morsels about fish and seafood. Courtauld’s tantalizing tidbits focus on the luxuries of lobster, how to catch a crab, bringing home the bouillabaisse, the global delights of mackerel, the ethics of shopping for salmon and cod, and time honored classics like raw oysters and shrimp cocktail.
