Its not often I find recipe books which inspire in such a fashion. ‘Go Fish,’ a recipe book by NZ Chef Al Brown is a hymn to the New Zealand experience of growing up by the seaside, collecting and catching seafood, and preparing simple and heartwarming dishes for family and friends. It combines plenty of basics and practical techniques (eg. How to shuck a Paua) with some delightful modern recipes. It speaks loudly and clearly about the importance of fishing and eating sustainably and responsibly. I spent the week at Taupiri Bay flicking through it, picking up ideas and inspiration for what to do with the days catch.
