Fish Butchery – Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US/UK/AU/NZ giveaway to win one of three copies of Fish Butchery: Mastering The Catch, Cut, and Craft by Josh Niland.

James Beard award-winning author and culinary game-changer Josh Niland returns with the ultimate guide to the art of fish butchery, with expert techniques and ground-breaking recipes that are an urgent call for action on culinary sustainability. Josh’s multi award-winning debut The Whole Fish Cookbook created a new blueprint for fish cookery, while its bestselling sequel Take One Fish unpacked 15 different species to reveal their true gastronomic potential.

In this latest book, Josh continues to open our eyes to the potential of fish in the kitchen. Presented in three stunning sections – Catch, Cut and Craft – and illustrated by legendary artist and musician Reg Mombassa, it’s both a challenge to the food industry to do things differently and a dazzling manual to the eye-popping potential in each and every fish. Featuring detailed instructions on how to prepare fish – from reverse butterfly to double saddle – as well as over 40 brilliant recipes for everything from fish sticks to pies, sausage and chorizo, Fish Butchery will disrupt, challenge and inspire the next generation.

Our takes you inside this beautiful book and features the following

The photographs and instructions on butchery – example above – are something I sorely need. I put the “butcher” in butchery. It is my hope that with Josh’s book I can fillet a fish and have it still resemble a fillet. My grandmother was one of the first female butchers in the East St. Louis slaughter houses way back when – I did not inherit any of her skills. Josh is the ultimate seafood expert and this may be his best book yet.

    The Tuna Wellington looks good. However, my fish of choice is halibut and I didn’t see any recipes or butchering for halibut. But I’m thinking that if I don’t get tuna, then halibut should work with the Wellington.
