Thomas Murrey worked the oyster from raw bar to stew pot and kept going: clams, crabs, scallops, mussels, and the lobster each get their own chapter. Sharp, practiced advice from a Gilded Age caterer on buying, opening, and cooking shellfish without ruining it. Brisk recipes, strong opinions, salt air throughout. Pull up a stool and start shucking.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
