Pike Place Public Market Seafood Cookbook

Good cookbook. Lots of seafood recipes in my edition.

Having been to Pike Place Public Market and a huge fan of Pacific Northwest seafood, this was a no-brainer. The recipes are organized in sections. The first describes a history of the market. The next section is about fin fish, then shell fish, and then the odd kettle section talks about tuna, squid, and seafood combination dishes, to name a few. The recipes are easy to follow and the results are worth the effort and turn out extremely well. I bought this book along with  Ray's Boathouse: Seafood Secrets of the Pacific Northwest  and  Pure Flavor: 125 Fresh All-American Recipes from the Pacific Northwest . So when all three arrived, I was in my glory--three Pacific Northwest cookbooks to complement my Wildwood  Wildwood: Cooking from the Source in the Pacific Northwest  cookbook. I did a tasting and made seven of the recipes the weekend after receiving the books. Everything was great, and I felt like I was in the Pacific Northwest again -- not in Jersey...well...

It's good but not great. If you like salmon it will be a good choice. About half the book is dedicated salmon dishes.

Pike Place Market is one of my favorite places to visit. I was excited to get the cookbook and the recipes do sound yummy. However, they also require a lot of work & ingredients that I don't have time to shop for. Maybe someday when I have a lot of time on my hands....

I like the cookbook, easy to follow, and makes me miss Seattle!most ingredients you can find, but some are harder for us East-Coaster's( like Dungeness crab!) but on the whole I really think this is a nice book for something different!Jim

For those who have been to the Wonderful state of Washington, and most definitely to the Tacoma- Seattle area thsi is wonderful to have , for the memories of Great Northwest Area Foods.

We bought this book as a gift for my daughter. The recipes are authentic, tasty, and easy to prepare. There are explanations and photographs in the book that help with other questions one may have about seafood and the Pacific Northwest.Worth the purchase!

History. Pairing seafood.
