recipes, history, and seafaring lore

"Mystic Seaport, the number one tourist destination in Connecticut is the home of all things about New England and the sea--including great seafood cooking. Every year tens of thousands of people visit Mystic to see the fishing boats and ships and tour the 18th-century coastal village. With more than one hundred great recipes, both historical and contemporary, simple and elaborate, for both seafood--oysters, clams, lobster, shrimp, cod, flounder, tuna, swordfish--and other dishes. Some of the recipes come from famous chefs and restaurants in the Mystic area; others were developed by the author. Vintage photos of tall ships and scenes from New England's seafaring past are interspersed with the recipes, and sidebars--on such topics as the role of fishing in Colonial America, how to prepare a classic clambake, and the lobster's peculiar culinary history--make this not only a great cookbook for anyone who loves seafood but also a perfect souvenir of Mystic Seaport"--Provided by publisher
