Shellfish or WineAccess Buyers Guide

Shellfish: The Cookbook

Author: Karen Barnaby


Shellfish made easy and delicious.

Shellfish are the basis of a multitude of succulent dishes and also provide significant health benefits. Rich in vitamins and minerals, low in fat and high in taste, shellfish are truly a wellrounded delicacy.

In Shellfish: The Cookbook, oysters, clams, mussels, crabs, scallops, lobsters, shrimp and prawns are used in deliciously innovative ways. A diverse cross-section of recipes culls the best shellfish combinations from a host of global influences. Easy-to-follow instructions take the intimidation out of preparing such delicious dishes as:


  • Clams steamed with pancetta, tomatoes and wine

  • Chilled mussels with lemon tarragon drizzle

  • Chilled crab and avocado soup

  • Northern Thai shrimp salad

  • Seafood hot pot with saffron aloli

  • Prosciutto-wrapped prawns with basil sauce

  • Sea scallops on apricot butter

  • Lobster and mango salad.



Comprehensive and clearly written, Shellfish: The Cookbook will be a welcome addition to the home chef's library.
