A recent review of the book by enjoy-it.co.uk
This is a delightful and insightful recipe book from Dartmoor’s Fish Deli founders, Nick and Michele Legg. They have run their much-loved fish deli for over 15 years and have recorded the indigenous fish and the delicious dishes that each season brings throughout the year in this charming hardback. The recipes are illustrated by Alice Cleary in line and watercolour on paper verging on parchment. The book is a pleasure to read and the recipes are intelligent; potted, cured, seared, home-pickled and barbecued. And the choice of fish each season – all fished with sustainability as the figurehead. The book explains some fish and shellfish in more detail, outlines accompaniments, whilst each recipe is introduced with some context to help pick the right dish for every fishy occasion…

Nick and Michele and their wonderful illustrator Alice Cleary have produced this beautiful book. It’s a fitting treasure for a treasure of a shop and the lovely people who run it.
