The Entry Level Lexicography for North Atlantic Seafood - By: TechMan, 28 Dec 2005
My 1979 edition of North Atlantic Seafood came from a remainders table at Dillons, in the mid-80's. Since, as an amateur but enthusiastic seafood cook, I have worn out the binding on my hardback volume. The author's clear & concise description of the wide variety of North Atlantic seafood, & particularly comprehensive coverage of shellfish, is a gift to the culinary world. Through Mr. Davidson's descriptions, it is possible to find interesting varieties of product for the better, more sophisticated recipes of specialist chefs. Buy Davidson for his lexicography. Others' works for recipes!
Best buy on North Atlantic Seafood - By: Nicholas Symes, 30 Nov 2003
Being a professional within North Atlantic Seafood I know there are miles between books on this specific topic. One would have guessed that a lack of quantity will mean a lack of quality. That is not the case with Alan Davidson's book. It is the most thorough piece of work on North Atlantic Seafood ever made. Alan Davidson knows that North Atlantic Seafood is not only fish, but surely also crustaceans, & he has even included sea-urchin. But Alan Davidson forgot the snow crab (as one of the largest export items from Greenland). And like it or not: the Greenlanders, the Faro Islanders, the Icelanders & the Norwegians do hunt & eat sea mammals. So I will save the fifth star to the next edition which hopefully will include these 'minor details'.
