This is a really useful book of fish recipes. It is divided into broad catagories such as soup, main courses, special occasions, and there is some information about cooking methods for fish etc. Many of the recipes are Claire MacDonald's versions of well known fish dishes eg: Kedgeree, Moules Marinieres and so on, however there are some excellent simple dishes which are perfect for family dining. This is a good book for a fairly new cook who would like to cook more fish. ( )
