From Matt Dean Pettit, the beloved author of The Great Lobster
Cookbook and the chef behind Matty's Seafood, comes a new collection of
delicious recipes for shellfish of all kinds!
Matt Dean Pettit, chef, co-owner and founder of Rock Lobster restaurants
and Matty's Seafood Brands, is back with a new book to delight your
taste buds. Whether you've been to one of his restaurants, picked up
some of his food from your local supermarket, experimented in the
kitchen with lobster recipes from his first book, The Great Lobster
Cookbook, or are looking for a fresh, go-to resource, Matt's enthusiasm
is contagious. As you can probably guess, seafood is one of his true
loves and The Great Shellfish Cookbook brings that love to life.
The Great Shellfish Cookbook takes any level of home cook on a
delicious food tour that focuses on Matt's favorite kinds of shellfish.
In much the same way as he demystified lobster in his first book, Matt
is back to teach you shellfish 101, show you how and where to buy fresh
shellfish, how to store it, and, of course, how to cook it. Inside,
you'll find both fun and approachable dishes for every meal, featuring
crab, oysters, mussels, scallops, squid, octopus, clams, prawns, and, of
course, lobster. If you're a home cook ready to expand your horizons,
you'll love the chapter on exotic shellfish like periwinkles, conch,
crawfish and sea urchin. And with a focus on sustainability and
protecting our oceans, you'll learn how to enjoy your favorite shellfish
dishes while balancing a respect for our environment.
A new cookbook classic for all seafood lovers, The Great Shellfish
Cookbook will have you running to the kitchen to prepare new and
exciting recipes for your family and friends.
