Summary

“A valuable compendium no matter where you live, Texas Seafood encourages you to explore uncommon varieties from your local fishmonger.” —The Wall Street Journal   The abundance of seafood available from the northwest Gulf of Mexico includes hundreds of delicious species that are often overlooked by consumers. Celebrating this regional bounty, Texas Seafood showcases the expertise of longtime fishmongers and chefs PJ and “Apple Srimart” Stoops. Readers will find familiar fish like Red Snapper along with dozens of little-known finfish and invertebrates, including tunas, mackerels, rays, and skates, as well as bivalves, shrimps, crabs, and other varieties, many of which are considered “bycatch” (seafood that a fisher didn’t intend to catch), but are no more difficult to prepare and just as delicious as those commonly found at your local supermarket.   The Stoopses provide a complete primer on sourcing these wild-caught delicacies, with fascinating details about habitats and life cycles as well as practical advice on how to discern quality. Texas Seafood concludes with simple, delectable recipes, many infused with the flavors of Apple’s Thai heritage. Dishes such as Steamed Curried Crab, Crispy White Shrimp, Escolar on a Grill with Green Mango Salad, Cast-Iron-Roasted Shortfin Mako Shark with Rio Grande Grapefruit, and Chicken-Fried Ribbonfish are just a few ways to savor the best of the Gulf.  “By documenting in such detail what’s below the surface in our Texas waters, [Texas Seafood] reveals a treasure. Not just for a local market but beyond: the national and even global market.” —Edible Houston  “An important addition to every local foodie’s culinary library.” —Edible San Antonio

    Eggplant recipes from around the world—beyond the Mediterranean and the Middle East!   The eggplant, also known as the aubergine, has come to epitomize Mediterranean cooking—but it is in fact an Asian immigrant from China. They’re not always a rich purple-black: Depending on where you travel you can find lilac verging on pink, green-tinged, or pure ivory—plain, mottled, or streaked. And as versatile as this vegetable-like fruit is, so are the ways of preparing it.   This book reveals that there are numerous methods of cooking eggplant—you can stew it in the French and Italian style, slice it and fry it, halve it and grill it, or bake it whole. So if your repertoire of eggplant recipes is limited to ratatouille or moussaka, join Nina Kehayan as she introduces you to 150 recipes from every corner of the world from the Near East to the Far East, from South America to Russia and beyond—and shares her family’s passion for them and stories of their journey over generations from Russia to Provence.
