The Louisiana Seafood Bible: Fish Volume 1 (Louisiana Landmarks)

Very good book about everything Shrimp from the begining of how they are raised, the process to bring them to market and finally recipes that end their lives being consumed. Great Book. Good recipes. I found the best seasoning to use in the recipes I cooked some Shrimp in. I purchased their All Purpose Seasoning which is similar to Zataran's Creole Seasoning but much better. Their Steak seasoning cannot be beat. Check out [...]

I was expecting a lot more "inside" information on how to purchase and store various types of fish. PRACTICAL information. There are only of few short paragraphs on what to look (actually, smell) for. Not everyone has access to "off the boat" vendors, so more info regarding "grocery store" purchases. As for storage, there is a chapter for this, but the "chapter" is only 4 pages! And that includes large photos.Way too much gratuitous info on friends, diseases, and experiences with fishing folks and industry. I'm sure their friends enjoyed this book. Wished I'd paid more attention to the TOC!More / better recipes is what I expected. Most of them are too fancy. Not one on salmon. Very disappointed.

Great book. I highly recommend it if, like me, you love seafood.

This book is more then a cookbook it gives a lot of information on shrimp. It talks about how shrimp are harvested then it talks about how to cook shrimp and finaly there are plenty of recipies.

The book is nice but it is more of a history lesson than a cook book with recipes. If you are looking for recipes consider another book.

Special writing. A Louisiana native who was a professor of fisheries at LSU for more than 30 years. His is an unique perspective.

I you live shrimp you need this cookbook! The author from Louisiana has traveled the state and compiled the best shrimp recipes! A must have, great price!

My husband loves all of his Louisiana Seafood Bible. He has really enjoyed all the history of the foods as well as the recipes.
