While Aussies love their seafood, and are blessed with an abundance of it, we generally aren’t very adventurous when it comes to the species we eat. The classics fly off the shelves year-round, while lesser-known species are often left to the wayside.
Sydney Fish Market is on a mission to change that with its brand-new cookbook – A Fish For All Seasons – celebrating 35 seafood species that are often overlooked or under-loved.
Created by Sydney Fish Market with recipes developed by the team at Sydney Seafood School, the cookbook will introduce Aussies to a wide range of sustainable, affordable species and provide tips on how to buy, prepare and cook them.
In addition to 70 accessible seafood recipes, with easy species substitutes for each, it also boasts 30 recipes for salads, sides and sauces that are ideal building blocks for a lifetime of seasonal seafood cooking.
Sydney Seafood School Manager, Sally Webb says, “We are thrilled to introduce consumers to a whole new range of seafood species to help them create delicious dishes at home. There are so many options that are full of flavour and often more affordable than the traditional choices, helping to stretch the everyday budget.
“Each recipe in the cookbook has been created with affordability and seasonality top of mind as we know cost of living and shopping sustainably are key considerations for Aussies. We hope people are inspired to try something different and learn a new skill along the way. With 100 accessible recipes, there is truly something for everyone and any occasion.”
To complement the delicious recipes, the cookbook also features superb food photography by Alan Benson and resplendent illustrations by renowned designer Emily O’Neill, making it the perfect addition to any kitchen or coffee table.
Released just in time for Christmas, A Fish For All Seasons is the perfect gift for the amateur chef or foodie friend in your life. Whether they are seafood aficionados or don’t know where to start when cooking seafood at home, this cookbook is the gift that will keep on giving.
A Fish For All Seasons is available to purchase for pre-sale here from Monday October 14th for RRP $59.95.
