The sheer variety of fish and shellfish - freshwater and seawater, round and flat, smoked and salted, pre-cooked or still alive - available from the supermarket fish counter, let alone the fishmonger, is enough to give the most experienced cook pause. With most people, the usual reaction is a feeling of barely stifled panic, a guilty trip to the freezer counter and a boil-in-the-bag dinner. However, Floyd on Fish with its A-Z guide to fish varieties is the perfect antidote to fish-fear and shows just how simple delicious fish cookery really is. Whether you want to make a classic dish - like Paella, Ceviche or Salmon in Aspic - or experiment with a Floyd speciality like Roast Monkfish with Garlic or Herrings with Bacon, Floyd on Fish has a recipe for every occasion and every fish. The book also includes tips on how to choose the best fresh fish and how to clean and prepare them with the minimum of fuss. Keith Floyd, when he's not writing best-selling cookery books like Floyd on Fish and Floyd on France or making popular television series like Far Flung Floyd, runs a pub, Floyd's Inn, near Totnes in Devon. His other books include Floyd Over Britain and Ireland, Floyd's American Pie and Floyd on Oz.
