This little book is not just about cooking fish in your own kitchen but an invitation to leave it and travel to the Mediterranean countries where it was caught. The English author, being only the third ever professional fishing woman in France at the time, takes you on some crazy adventures to Corsica, Italy, Malta, Turkey and North Africa in the 1960s and 70s where you will meet with rough weather, mad donkeys, racing drivers and nudists, but to mention a few, but always compensates you with a good meal and a laugh whatever the outcome. It is an introduction to the wonderful world of fish in the hope that it will inspire you to navigate further into the advantageous waters of this exciting and plentiful source of food.
