The Fishes and Dishes Cookbook

A generation ago, the women featured in this book might have been celebrated as pioneers. In today's world, they are simply living their dreams and challenging one of the last frontiers - the male dominated commercial fishing ground of Alaska. They have worked every job, from captin to cook, and nearly every northern fishery, even the Bering Sea king crab grounds made infamous by TV's "Deadliest Catch."

Their tantalizing recipes for a full day of meals include Corn Cakes with Shrimp, Avocado and Tomato; Salmon Dumplings with Coconut Curry Sauce; Thai Clam Chowder; Halibut CHeeks Picatta; Linguine with Mussels and Cider; Bacon and Shallot Cream Sauce.
