My wife reads his cook the catch column each otw issue and she went over to meet him an pick up a book at a signing someplace on the cape pre-Christmas. I am not a chef but there are some great recipes in this thing. She has made at least a half-doz things from this book and all of them have been very tasty and different from other ways I have had seafood. I picked it up and looked thru it the other night and the guy is clearly in love with the Quohog and has an interesting past. Anyway if you eat what you catch in these local waters you owe it to yourself to check this out. It is not a martha stewart type of book, less polish and more practical. I don't know the guy and have never met him and don't know if he reads sb.com but from someone who eats seafood at least 3X per week this is a nice collection of recipies for the local guy.
