Cover design by Jane Sheppard Cover photo by Anne-Claire Thieulon Print ISBN: 978-1-5107-1750-3 Ebook ISBN: 978-1-5107-1751-0 Printed in China for my Mom, Carol Dolan Thank you for your cooking, your amazing sense of humor, for tolerating the late night rants once upon a time, and for believing in me along the way. contents Part 1 introduction Americans are eating more fish. Thank God! Because fish is a healthier and more sustainable meat alternative, more steak junkies are migrating over to the proteins from the sea. Please pardon my hypocrisy, as I am a lover of steak as well, but the truth is, any of us living near a single body of healthy water have inherited generations upon generations of seafood dishes. These deeply-rooted cultural delicacies have undergone the passage of time and are still well-entrenched in our day-to-day lives. My own culinary exploration through a few corners of the United States and parts of Western Europe confirmed that no matter where you are, fish is on the menu.

I am an American, aware of my Celtic roots, and I blame these roots for the passion that I carry forth in all things, especially my love of cooking and creating dynamic experiences through food. Cooking for others is a joy rewarded by seeing the enjoyment of others. Passion and care are the fundamentals of excellent food, and I am passionate about fish. We should eat more of it. It turns out, one billion people rely upon fish as their primary source of protein, so welcome to my collection of stories and recipes showcasing how we can cook great fish for ourselves and our friends, and how we can simplify the entire process to enjoy delicious meals focused on seafood. In this book, we will explore a wide variety of fish recipes, prepping techniques, and tricks that will lead to memorable experiences and culinary creations simply through cooking fish.

I will give you tips on what to ask the guy at the fish counter and what they can do to make your prep list a bit lighter (they wont love me for this, but you will!) so that you can deliver a restaurant quality experience in your own homeeither for yourself or the twenty people that followed you home from work that day! Unlikely, but you see my point. Whether you are entertaining or simply want to eat a trout and listen to Mozart by yourself while sipping a glass of white wine and navigating the trouts fiddly bones, this book is for you. I will walk you through the steps of a variety of different fish options for each season, as well as a few desserts (please note that no fish will be used in the making of any dessert offerings). The recipes will vary from casual and quick to more advanced and adventuresome, and will simply demystify the entire process. So please, have fun at your own event, enjoy amazing fish and some time out of the kitchen (lets be honest, you are still cooking for people so we are going to make this as painless as possible), and have fun cooking healthy and delicious fish. Lets dive into simply cooking fish! why fish? The desire to write this book was to see fish back in the home kitchen.

For those of you who cannot cook fish with great confidence, you now have a new resource that will not only help you cook fish, but will show you how to create beautiful accompaniments to complete the meal, and guide you toward sustainable offerings (as with all food, we should care where our fish comes from and purchase responsibly). That may seem like a last minute message, but conserving our great resources from the sea is all of our responsibility. Another main reason is that fish are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that lower bad cholesterol or low density lipids, which are a major contributor to heart conditions. Omegas 3s are also recognized as carriers of good cholesterol through our circulatory system, which hunt the bad cholesterol while lowering our risk of heart attack and strokeas though we needed another reason to eat fish! The final message I want to send is simple. It is simply that fish is delicious and good for you. If you are like most people, you want little part in preparing fish for others, but now you canin a quick, easy, and delicious way.
