Carp, cod, haddock, herring, mackerel, mullet: Roger North opens the history of the fishes worth eating. Each species gets its natural history and its place on the table, including the humble art of preserving herrings. Brisk, practical, and quietly delightful. An early gourmet's guide to the fish of Britain's waters, for cooks and naturalists alike. Learn your catch before you cook it.

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.
