Louisiana Seafood Bible, The: Fish Volume 2
"Do not tell fish stories where the people know you, but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish." -Mark Twain (1835-1910), American humorist, writer, and lecturer Whether fried or baked, pan-seared or grilled, fish fits any plate and is sure to please any palate. The final addition to the Louisiana Seafood Bible Series, this offering from talented duo Jerald and Glenda Horst picks up where The Louisiana Seafood Bible: Fish Volume 1 left off. It offers fish lovers a taste of Louisiana's freshest catches-and a great deal of knowledge about the fish themselves.  The Horsts provide an informative and visually stimulating gastronomic guide to all things fish with more than seventy home-style dishes, including such delights as Almond and Macadamia Crusted Fish and Vietnamese Clay Pot Catfish. More than 250 mouth-watering photos provide a visual reference for chefs, from beginners to experts, to the presentation of these delicious sea creatures. Each delectable entrée has been home-tested by the husband-and-wife-team, who have collected and tested fish recipes for decades.  The most unique feature of this book is its guide to Louisiana fish, which contains both photographs and a listing of the best cooking methods for one hundred-plus Louisiana fish species. Truly rife with useful information, this is a volume that belongs in every kitchen.
