Product Description
Comprehensive. Friendly. Indispensable. With more than 250 simple and delicious recipes.
No doubt about it, fish is a cook's dream. Fast. Low in fat, versatile, and healthful, it's even brain food. No other fish cookbook contains such a comprehensive selection of approachable, contemporary recipes. It's written by a pair of experts: a nationally known three-star seafood chef whose true passion is teaching home cooks, and an award-winning writer and sought-after food authority. Arranged for the cook's complete convenience, Fish without a Doubt encompasses chapters on all the techniques of fish cookery?from poaching to grilling to sauteing?as well as on all the most popular seafood dishes?from appetizers, to soups and salads, to burgers and pasta.
The recipes range from updated versions of classics (Trout Almondine, Linguine with Clams, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes) to the latest favorites (Steamed Black Bass with Sizzling Ginger,Tuna Burgers with Cucumber Relish, Thai-Style Mussels). It includes slews of quickies for weeknight specials (Broiled Fillets with Butter and Herbs) and centerpieces for splashier occasions (A Big Poached Char). Featuring only seafood that is not overfished, Fish without a Doubt provides the latest information for the eco-conscious cook about our last wild frontier.

 Phenomenal November 25, 2008

I visited RM restaurant in Vegas a few years ago and can not stop going back again and again. So, when I learned that Rick Moonen wrote a book, I had to have it. I've tried some recipes and loved them. They are very simple and delicious. Even my daughter who is not seafood lover like I am loved the fish with Hoisin Glaze and many other recipes. So, if you want your kids to eat fish - buy the book. The interesting thing is that the book caters to people who are afraid to cook seafood at home to the professional chefs. It offers tons of great recipes and pointers on purchasing fresh sustainable fish. I loved it and would recommend to anyone.
 Very Accessible Fish Recipes October 10, 2008

I have only cooked 3 recipes but they were all wonderful. I have always been a bit hesitant to cook fish but this book is bringing me out of my shell (pun intended). The writers really break down the complexity and discuss process in very understandable terms. I highly recommend this book for the novice fish cooker.

Wonderful cookbook! The contents include cooking methods and recipes, but I find the sections such as how to buy fish, detailed descriptions of various fishes, and which fish to avoid, equally useful. Somehow this author had taken the mystery out of cooking fish, and the results of his recipes are very good. I've owned hundreds of cookbooks, many of which are no longer on my shelves. This one is a keeper.
Tasty -- and useful even for those who already cook a lot of fish July 18, 2008

This book was described to me as being for people who are very uncertain of cooking fish at home, so I wasn't sure how useful it would be for a family that already cooks fish relatively frequently. The answer: it's a great cookbook regardless of your comfort level with fish because of the varied recipes and how tasty the results are. The sauces, marinades, and spice combinations are different than I've seen elsewhere and the results have made us go back for more. Our favorite so far is a bizarre-sounding ceviche with Asian ingredients like fish sauce and hoisin sauce. My husband, who loves Mexican-style ceviche, said, "We're making that?" and afterwards said, "We're making that again!" One feature we like is how the recipes call for a particular fish but have a section labeled "Accept Substitutes" that suggests other fish or shellfish that will work equally well. That gives us latitude when shopping. As another reviewer mentioned, some of the best recipes are for things that go *with* the fish. We loved a tomatillo salsa that we made along with some grilled shrimp and squid.

I have searched for a fairly easy to use fish cookbook for years. I am very good, male, home cook -- my wife supplies a meal 3 times a week while I cook 4 days a week -- who really likes this book.
