Tom ColicchioTinned fish isn’t only practical; it’s delicious. Chris McDade profiles the versatility of tinned fish that has turned this ardent fisherman into a fan
The New York TimesA comprehensive introduction to the original fast food—shelf-stable seafood packed in olive oil. With an eye toward convenience, sustainability and deliciousness, Mr. McDade guides readers through the world of canned seafood options by way of thoughtful recipes and helpful tips for what to look for and expect from each can
Publisher's WeeklyBrooklyn chef McDade makes a strong case that tinned fish is the ultimate game-changing protein in his excellent debut, arguing that preserved fish ‘can be just as, if not more, versatile and delicious than their fresh counterparts.” French, Spanish, and U.S. influences inform the collection, which highlights all types of tinned seafood—from sardines and shellfish to squid and octopus—and how best to prepare each (some salted anchovies, for instance, need to first be soaked in cold water). The anchovy is showcased in a simple yet satisfying anchovies, bread, and butter snack, then moves to a ‘supporting role’ in a dish of grilled broccoli, pistachios, and Green Goddess dressing that offers a delightful punch with blended herbs and jalapeno. A celebratory presentation of sardines on a board suggests mixing cans of different-flavored sardines along with various complementary nibbles such as olives, almonds, potato chips, and spicy mustard, and breakfast gets its due with smoked trout and scrambled eggs on an everything bagel with horseradish. Meanwhile, a zesty celery and octopus salad makes a delicious case for branching outside one’s traditional tinned go-tos. Thanks to McDade’s assured guidance, those curious about this understated pantry staple will have no trouble diving in. Salty and satisfying, these recipes hit the spot

Rose Levy BeranbaumThe Hog Island Book of Fish Seafood is a stunning and comprehensive masterpiece! Chef John Ash not only has in-depth knowledge of his subject, equally important is his ability to present it clearly with all the details needed to reproduce the recipes with full success
Chef Hugh AchesonThis wonderful book is a testimonial to two legendary stewards of great food in America: Chef Ash has been a sage leader with an innate ability to create food tied beautifully to the California cornucopia; Hog Island Oyster Co. has been a superhero for sustainable aquaculture since 1983 and is not stopping anytime soon. Together they show you a guide to all seafood, something that has been lacking on my cookbook shelf
Guy FieriThe Northern California food scene is in many ways the North Star when we talk about important movements like food sustainability and the farm-to-table scene. You can’t talk about this world without mentioning my friend, Chef John Ash, a true leader in the space and the king of wine country cuisine. It’s no wonder that his partnership with pioneers of the seafood business, the team at Hog Island Oyster Co., is highlighted in this cookbook, which is as educational as it is beautiful and delicious. Dive in . . . you’re gonna dig it
