Josh Niland is a genius - Nigella Lawson

In The Whole Fish Cookbook, groundbreaking seafood chef Josh Niland reveals a completely new way to think about all aspects of fish cookery. From sourcing and butchering to dry ageing and curing, it challenges everything we thought we knew about the subject and invites readers to see fish for what it really is - an amazing, complex source of protein that can and should be treated with exactly the same nose-to-tail reverence as meat.

It features more than 60 recipes for dozens of fish species ranging from Smoked Marlin Ham Caesar Salad, Fish Cassoulet and Roast Fish Bone Marrow to - essentially - The Perfect Fish and Chips. Many of us would like to eat more fish but worry about the environmental impact and often end up cooking the same old salmon fillet on repeat. The Whole Fish Cookbook will soon have you embracing new types and will change the way you buy, cook and eat fish.

There is so much more to a fish than just the fillet, and it is indeed true what they say about there being more than just a handful of fish in the sea.
