This is a really informative cookbook! I wanted to read this book because I love Fisherman's eggs (a Sardine dish) and I wanted to see if it was in here - it's not, but I still loved the recipes! They are so fun and yummy! I like that each recipe is in a section of fish type and that there is some background behind each fish type. Great cookbook!

Prior to reading this book, my list of recipes made with tinned fish was very limited. Mainly croquettes and pot pies. Bart van Olphen has done my family a favor by expanding the choices I now have. Living in Alaska for 30 years, we canned or "tinned" a lot of fish. This method of preservation allowed us to have this healthy protein all year long. The recipes are clearly written and easy to follow. The list of ingredients are pantry staples for most of us. I've tried several of the recipes already and have scheduled the rest into my meal planner.

I love canned fish. I love the security of having canned fish on my shelves, ready for any need. I had high hopes for this book, and it delivered. Gorgeous photographs, delicious recipes, and side helpings of information about the history of canning and sustainable fisheries. I''ll be paging through this book again and again.

Thanks to NetGalley and The Experiment for the early read.

Who knew that canned fish was actually good quality - and excellent for all sorts of recipes? Not me. At least, not before I read this book. The author not only serves up creative recipes to make legit meals and treats out of tinned fish, he also takes the time to explain how to find sustainable options and provides a bit of history about fishing. I'm excited to try tuna lasagna and might even venture into tinned fish I've been wary of before.
