The Cape Cod Fish & Seafood Cookbook: From basic to Gourmet

Cape Cod is justly famous for its succulent seafood -- from the oysters of Wellfleet and the scallops of Chatham to the lobsters, clams and mussels found abundantly around the shore. From the fish swimming in local waters to the sport fish found offshore -- this bounty from the sea provides us with nothing less than a gourmet feast. The book describes the main types of seafood, providing information on purchasing, catching, and cleaning each species, plus recipes describing methods of preparation from basic to gourmet. Gathered over a period of 20 years from Cape Cod's finest chefs and amateur cooks, this collection of recipes runs the gamut from simple steamed clams to the great seafood stews of the world, adapted to local ingredients.
