200 Best Canned Fish and Seafood Recipes: For Tuna, Salmon, Shrimp, Crab, Clams, Oysters, Lobster and More

Absolutely exhaustive collection of recipes for canned fish and seafood. I am very pleased. I’m supposed to eat more fish and seafood but I was running out of ideas for recipes. Now I have a ton of recipes I can’t wait to try

This book is not about dressing up your canned seafood. Rather, this book is about making full-production dishes incorporating canned seafood. Hurricane/emergency food ration survival snack ideas it isn’t! The book opens with a short introduction and a brisk explanation of the various canned seafoods for which the included recipes are written. The recipes are a vast array of options, from what to do with sardines (ex: with roasted baby potatoes, smoked paprika oil and lemon) to a handful of dishes with relatively affordable caviar (ex: I found a 3-pack (50g each) of black lumpfish caviar for $16.00 at a local vendor. 100g salmon roe ~$20.00). Pot pies, pasta dishes, risottos, salads, sushi rolls and more. Yes, tuna noodle casserole is included. What's not included is an abundance of pictures. Only fourteen recipes have a full-page, full-color photo (with its location page number) placed in two glossy-paper segments spaced apart in the book. For this, I deducted a star. I'm aware many readers need strong visual inspiration. Recipes call for staples and fresh ingredients found at any grocery store, with the occasional specialty item (liquid smoke, nori sheets, a few threads of saffron). Cooking techniques are quite basic. If you can open a can, chop produce, and use a stove/oven without setting off the smoke alarm (most of the time), you can approach these recipes comfortably. This volume can be regularly useful for any landlubber who wants to effect some turnover in their pantry. Bring your globally curious, foodie "lite" palate; dishes are from around the world, yet very approachable. A worthy inclusion in any cookbook collector's library.

Some really great recipes here. Made the up scale tuna casserole and it was the best we have ever had. Some of the recipes are appropriate for fresh seafood too and there is a great table of substitutions. Will be trying more recipes soon.

Okay collection and a somewhat worthwhile addition if you are a cookbook collector. Recipes rarely are better than those found for free in the internet.

Genius idea for those of us who can only afford economic foods. Especially people of SNAP or Food Pantry. A great gift for such a person.

I really like this book. I enjoly having new ways to use canned tuna or shrimp or crab etc.The recipes use ingredients that I already have on hand. Would recommend this to anyone wholikes to cook.

got one for my sister, who makes lots of recipes using canned tuna or salmon. I liked the recipes so bought another for myself. Won't make the majority of recipes, but will probably make a few of them a lot.

Iwasent blown away by any of the recipes
