Part of the admirable 'Edible' series, this is more a celebration of the King of Fish than an angling book-a sparkling essay on the methods of culture and capture, plus the comestible qualities of Pacific and Atlantic salmon, from the mighty King to the humble Humpie. Eclectically illustrated, it includes a (literally) potted history of fish canning, some good anecdotes, and several unusual recipes., In his entertaining history of this fish as food, Mink reminds us that this controversial expression of our love affair with eating salmon is but the latest chapter in a story that long predates recorded history. . . . Be sure to try the recipes at the end., Part of the admirable 'Edible' series, this is more a celebration of the King of Fish than an angling book--a sparkling essay on the methods of culture and capture, plus the comestible qualities of Pacific and Atlantic salmon, from the mighty King to the humble Humpie.

Synopsis
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, cheap, and widely available, salmon is often listed as an essential part of any diet. A delicious and versatile fish, it can be used to make sashimi, cold smoked for lox, or shaped into a fishcake as an alternative to hamburgers. But while salmon is enjoyed all over the globe, it also swims at the center of controversy, with commercial fishing, global warming, and loss of freshwater habitats all threatening salmon populations and the ecological and health impacts of intense salmon farming under fire. In this beautifully illustrated book, Nicolaas Mink takes readers on a culinary journey from the coast of Alaska to the rivers of Scotland, tracing salmon's history from the earliest known records to the present. He tells the story of how the salmon was transformed from an abundant fish found seasonally along coastal regions to a mass-produced canned food and a highly prized culinary delight. Exploring the nutritional benefits of this fish, he examines recent studies that show how these benefits diminish in farm-raised salmon. With many delicious recipes, Salmon is the perfect gift for every fish lover., Salmon takes readers on a culinary journey from the coast of Alaska to the rivers of Scotland, tracking the salmon's history from earliest records to the present. The salmon courses through the world's culinary history with the same power as do the globe's rivers and streams. This book tells the story of how the salmon was transformed from an abundant food found seasonally along coastal regions, to food canned and transported the world over, to a highly-prized culinary delight served in many of Europe and Asia's top restaurants.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    I buy books from this seller all the time. The books are extremely affordable. Every once in a while there's an issue but more often than not, the outcome is positive. Packaging is just a thin sleeve with no bubble protection. This leaves the books open to damage in shipping. However, the seller ships for free. Book was actually in better condition than described - a nice surprise & greatly appreciated!! 👍 Thank you very much, seller!! I'll be back with another order!! 😀
