From coast to coast, seafood is getting the thumbs-up from cooks, chefs, doctors, dietitians, and medical researchers. If you are skeptical about exactly what kind of fish to buy, Seafood Cooking For Dummies®, comes complete with a whole fish selection guide to start you off with exactly which kind of fish will suit your palate. This book explains the proper tools to buy, cook with and to cook on, and delves into the best way to prepare your choice of seafood, whether it be grilling, flying, stir-frying, broiling, baking, as well as many more. Plus, it is packed with tons of delicious recipes!
The "Parts of Ten" section, located in the back of the book, includes useful information such as, top ten seafood restaurants, great seafood festivals, top ten oyster bars, must "sea" web-sites as well as shore-to-door seafood shippers!
