In this foray into fish cookery the author offers a wealth of ways with fish, seasoned with anecdote and reminiscence from almost eight decades of a life lived to the full in a host of farflung fishing grounds. Here is the Lassalle fish diet for long life and lively health, with recipes originating from London to Limassol, including temptations as various as salmon fishcakes and Thames whitebait, Italy's opulent Sogliole Verdi and Sole Otero, Bloom's Baroque Pickled Fish and a sheer extravaganza of ideas for oysters. The Adventurous Fish Cook won for George Lassalle the Glenfiddich Book of the Year Award.
