This is a cookbook and more, written and published by North Carolina Sea Grant, and distributed by The University of North Carolina Press. The publication includes how to clean fish, crabs and oysters, and how to prepare them. It has on the cover, Mariner's Menu, 30 years of fresh seafood ideas, by Joyce Taylor.A very nice guide for preparing fresh seafood from the North Carolina Coast.

Copies of this book are not easy to find. My used copy is in great condition -- clean, with a perfect spiral binding--- and is exactly what I need. Compiled by the folks who know NC seafood best through the NC Sea Grant research and coastal resources team. Recipes are organized logically and make finding a recipe by seafood type almost effortless.

I have given at least a dozen of these as gifts and everyone is delighted to receive one. I have all of the recipes from the early days of their testing which fill two 4" thick notebooks. They rated the recipes and sent them to the persons on the mailing list. Of course all were not great and did not make the book, but the ones that did are keepers. The book gives background and much info on selecting and storing seafood in addition to preparation of some fantastic dishes. I have caught and cooked much of my seafood for over 50 years. If I could only have one seafood book, this is the one.

Thorough book with good advice on how to select and prepare seafood for storage or immediate use. Great recipes as well. Very nice resource.

we love fish and the book has great elaborate recipes I used a lot of the recipes from it and I got a lot of complement on the taste of the fish I made. The book has recipes from pros In the marine areas who know how to cook fish. it is delish..

Ms. Taylor et al have done an excellent job of capturing the seafood recipes of the North Carolina coast. I worked in the same building while this was going on and was often invited for a "tasting". Glad to see the recipes all in one place!

Written with mid-Atlantic coast seafood in mind. Many good recipes and a lot of extra information about seafood in general, as well as a little bit of local history. If you want to know how to head shrimp, dress soft-shelled crabs, or filet a flounder, as well as cook them, this is the book for you.

Great cookbook for anyone who loves seafood. Everything you want to know about purchasing, cooking and serving seafood. Lots of recipes for more seafood than I have ever purchased.
