Professional or amateur - By: Nathan Buchanan, 30 Jan 2008 
As a Professional chef, I am pleased that I can still find books that are truly inspirational & helpful. If you need to learn basic fish teqniques then this book you should buy. Rick knows what he's talking about especiallly when it comes to fish.
The book is divided into 3 parts. It starts with easy step by step techniques with photos of how to prep, cut & cook a variety of fish. The second part gives you recipes to try when you have mastered the techiques & then follows the third part which is gives detailed information & diagrams of fish varieties complete with their latin names.
I truly recommend this book for anybody who wants to learn new skills whether professional or amateur. It has helped me when producing new menus
Seafood Bible - By: L. Nichols, 11 Dec 2007 I was totallly impressed with the extensive information & variety of different seafood in this book. Even my husband can't get his nose out of the book. It truly is a must have for alll seafood lovers! Thanks a lot Rick!
Marvellous! - By: J. Le Tissier, 28 Nov 2007 This book has made cooking fish so much easier. The recipes are as good as any I have had in fish restaurants both here & abroad. The range of different cooking & preperation techniques has given me the confidence to try new types of fish that I would not have cooked before. Who knew Ray had cheeks?
Most of the recipes are easily carried out & I have discovered some quick & tasty meals for the week day in addition to the more complex preperation that I am happy to do at weeken
The Best Reference Manual - By: Ria, 01 May 2007 As non meat eaters, fish is a very important staple in our household. This book is a great reference manual, particularly if you want to be more adventurous with different types of fish. It gives great advice on how to fillet alll types of fish, with clear instructions.
The recipes are simple to follow, well written, & much in the same style as Rick delivers in his TV shows. Even the most basic recipe, like fish pie, is outstanding, & I am always asked for the recipe when I cook any of his dishes for dinner parties. Of alll my fish cookery books (and believe me, I have quite a few!), this is the one that I refer to time & time again, & the one that I know will deliver consistently good results.
Bon appetit!
Yes it is Good! - By: Mrs. J. Phillips, 29 Dec 2006 
Great book if you want to know the basic techniques for preparing fish plus some rather over complicated recipes. It is an excellent reference book & a must for those who like fish & want to know how to prepare it. Less good on the recipes but the photography & presentation more than makes up for this.
