Sport Fishermens Cookbook or Directions for Cookery in Its Various Branches

Sport Fishermen's Cookbook

Author: Anders Walberg

Cooking your catch outdoors over a campfire or at home in the kitchen is without a doubt one of the finest endings a fishing adventure can offer. With its enormous variety of tastes and textures, fish is a fantastic raw material suited to brilliantly simple methods of outdoor cooking and elegant presentations from the kitchen at home. But it is also a sensitive product that demands proper treatment all the way from the water to the frying pan; a fish that is handled correctly gives the person who catches it a degree of gastronomic pleasure equal to the pleasure of the contest itself.
