Pros & Cons
Pros
The book also includes a number of recipes for simple sauces to serve – from chutneys to cream sauces and compound butters. My favorite is paella. The book is well written and researched and beautifully illustrated.
All clear and concise instructions. Easy to follow, especially when compared to the standard of blindly following recipe directions.
Fish and seafood cookbook has great organization - by type of seafood and then by style of recipe. The introductory chapters are full of interesting information, and i think would be invaluable to someone just beginning to experiment with cooking more... Read More

Halibut, red snapper, striped bass, and swordfish can be substituted in thai curry rice with mahi-mahi.
Cons
The cookbook wastes good space in the kitchen. It appears that this book was just put together in a lazy way.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to follow recipes and minimal ingredients
The book does not feel cheap either - nice quality.
No more flipping pages to continue a recipe, then flipping back to verify an ingredient measurement, then flipping back again.
The print is small and feeble, not easy to read nor to follow a recipe while cooking.
Price
It was very reasonably priced on amazon and was perfect quality.
Some of the recipes can get a little pricey.
I found this very useful as some fish are very expensive.
Shipping
I intend to order all my seafood from an on line company in alaska shipped frozen directly to my house.
I live in south america so i can't afford to have it shipped here.
Packaging/appearance
Came in good condition, love the easy tasty recipes that cooks illustrated has to offer.
This is jam packed full of fantastic recipes, and the huge coloured photographs are fantastic.
But, so far, i've just looked at each beautiful page, tagged the recipes i want to try, and made them!
Competitiveness
Especially when compared to the standard of blindly following recipe directions.
