A look at the seafood counter reveals a number of varieties of fish, from mild in flavor and flaky in texture to rich and meaty. In Foolproof Fish, we show you how versatile they all are by providing approachable recipes, most of which you can make with more than one kind of fish. You're guaranteed a flavorful meal no matter what you bring home from the market or monger. We'll broaden your seafood scope by incorporating it into any course--vibrant appetizers like Sizzling Garlic Shrimp and Peruvian Fish Ceviche with Radishes and Orange, lots of easy weeknight meals like Moroccan Fish and Couscous Packets and Tuna Steaks with Cucumber-Peanut Salad, elegant dinner party fare like Roasted Whole Side of Salmon with Orange Beurre Blanc, or comforting soups like Cod in Coconut Broth with Lemon Grass and Ginger. Even bring the fish fry home with grease-free Fish and Chips and Shrimp Po' Boys. And the recipes are foolproof- no fish fillets sticking to the grill or rubbery scallops.

In addition to getting you to cook from the sea, this book offers a fish education. Master key techniques from shucking oysters for Grilled Oysters with Spicy Lemon Butter to serving up a whole fish after making Roast Snapper with Citrus Vinaigrette; learn substitutions so you can work with what's available to you; and explore topics that matter to you, like nutrition and sustainability.
