Scotland has some of the best seafood in the world, so we why don't we eat more of it? Why don't we highlight the bounty of our seas and the people who fish, produce, sell, preserve and cook it?

Acclaimed cooker writer Ghillie Basan embarks on a journey around Scotland's coastline and over to the islands to capture the essence of our nation's seafood through the stories of fisherman, farmers, artisan smokers and curers, boat builders and net makers, creels and shacks, skin tanners and age-old traditions.

In addition, she offers 90 original recipes showcasing the wonderful produce she encounters on her journeys to all parts of the country.

'This is a book to make you roam, eat, and experience, not just whip up something nice for Friday's tea' -- Gaby Soutar * The Scotsman * 'A fascinating melange of articles about food producers or gatherers, whether of fish, sea salt, scallops, mussels, and more; interspersed with recipes for dishes prepared with ingredients local to the area being covered' -- Ken Lussey * Undiscovered Scotland * 'It is easily one of the most comprehensive seafood cookbooks I've seen' -- Rosie Morton * Scottish Field * 'By including such a diverse range of recipes, all of which beautifully showcase Scotland’s coastal communities and their wonderful seafood, Ghillie Başan has not only created a cookbook that any home cook would love to own, but also something more... Seafood Journey is in many way, a snapshot of current-day Scotland' -- Paul Scott * Fishing News * 'This is a book that will lead you to appreciate the stories of Scottish shellfish, as well as fall in love even more with the sea that bares them – it’s a catch!' * Shetland News * 'This is a model cookbook - quirky, informative and a thoroughly good read' * Country Life *
