The masters featured in The Fishmonger’s
Apprentice teach old-world, classic skills to the modern food
enthusiast. Through extensive, diverse profiles of experienced experts
plus tutorials, the reader gleans insider access to real-life fishermen,
wholesale markets, fish buyers, chefs, and other sources – far away
from the supermarket, and everywhere the fish go well before it makes it
to the table.
The comprehensive guides in Quarry’s Apprentice series go beyond the
basics or 101 books by pairing illustrated instruction, techniques, and
recipes with extensive expert profiles. Our book is a handbook for
enjoying fish–from fishing line to filleting knife and beyond – that
offers instructional content as well as narrative, lifestyle-oriented
insight. Everyone from casual cooks to devoted epicures will learn even
more ways to buy, prepare, serve, and savor all types of seafood. The
book’s information guides readers’ shopping list, nutritional choices,
food experiments, and even backyard or (harbor-side) projects.
