Suggestions for Books/Info About Seafood, Fish, etc

[SheilaAnn]

Hi, anybody have any good sources?

[Huskee]

I assume you mean for eating/cooking?

[SheilaAnn]

Yessir!

Hank Shaw's book, "Hook Line and Supper." Also check out his website at Honest-food.net. He is my go-to for all fish and game cooking.

I was going to mention that one. I received my copy on Tuesday, can't wait to try out some recipes. I bought his 4 other cookbooks too.

Eric Ripert's Le Bernardin

Oh, also James Peterson "Fish and Shellfish" a classic.

[SheilaAnn]

I have the Peterson book. Good read!

Realize I was desperately unclear on my ask. Have an interview at a local market at the fish/seafood counter. Looking for info to refresh my memory about fish and all. I know enough to get by, but am looking to add more knowledge to my skill set. I guess that will come with time.

pkadare compliment graciously accepted

2nd interview is most likely coming down the pike!

Practice wrapping long items like a half of salmon in butcher paper so lays flat. It’s a skill lost on most seafood clerks.
Also joke about how monkfish used to be the poor man’s lobster but now it’s the rich man’s monkfish.
I used to be a seafood manager at a grocery store. It was a lot of fun, plus you get first pick when a good batch comes in!
Good luck with the second interview!

This is a good one that gets into the butchery aspect of it

No recommendations, but hope you get (or have gotten) the second interview and all goes well.

tamidw the GM went on vacation just after the interview. He said if it were up to him, I would have been hired right there. He needs to pass it through his director, first. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
