For the forager, the seashore holds surprising culinary potential.
In this authoritative, witty book John Wright takes us on a trip to
the seaside. But before introducing us to the various species to be
harvested, he touches on such practicalities as conservation and
the ethics of foraging; safety from tides, rocks and food
poisoning; the law and access to the shore, our right to fish,
landing sizes and seasons; and equipment such as nets, pots and
hooks.
Eat the Beach is a uniquely informative, practical guide to coastal foraging, essential for anyone interested in survival skills or just wanting to get more out of messing about in rock pools. Fraser Christian runs the UK's only specialist Coastal Survival School. He is a fully qualified chef who has led courses for the famous River Cottage and now regularly forages for some of the UK's top Michelin restaurants. In this book he shares his expertise on safety, particularly with regard to weather and tides, techniques for fishing from the shore, finding, identifying and cooking sea plants (including seaweed) and shellfish, and takes the reader step by step through the process of building a clam oven for the ultimate beach feast. Essential reading for anyone likely to be wild camping by the seashore, or who wants to be equipped for any survival situation (the Coastal Survival School was formed in response to requests from those who found themselves in just such a situation after the 2004 tsunami). The seashore is a rich source of food: this book teaches anyone how to collect it, catch it, prepare it, cook it and enjoy it.
Winner of 2021 National Geographic Traveller Reader Award for 'Best Food & Travel Book' Shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers First Book and Single Subject Book Awards 2021 Gourmand Cookbook Award Winner 2020 In 2016 two locals, frustrated at the lack of opportunities to eat the seafood landed in Ullapool, started a seafood shack on the harbour of the North West Highlands town. Serving up whatever their fishermen friends brought them every day, Kirsty Scobie and Fenella Renwick's crowd funded project was an instant success and a new book, to be published in November, brings this to life. In their first book, Kirsty and Fenella tell the story of Ullapool's Seafood Shack and bring together the recipes for the fresh, vibrant, ballsy dishes that have made The Seafood Shack such a Scottish treasure: from their famed Haddock & Pesto Wrap and the super-luxe Lobster Mac & Cheese to incredible super-local delicacies like Spiney Popcorn. The Seafood Shack was born out of a conversation between Kirsty and Fenella out at sea with their fishermen partners. Ullapool has around twelve local boats fishing in the clear, icy waters of The Minch: five prawn trawlers and seven inshore creel boats, with a further two crabbing boats coming in each week and ten or so white fish boats landing regularly. The vast majority of this huge variety of seafood landing daily was then transferred straight onto the back of a lorry, making it difficult to source it locally. Eager to keep a little fresh seafood for their hometown, Kirsty and Fenella opened up The Seafood Shack. The shack swiftly went onto win recognition, winning the BBC Food & Farming Award for Best Street food or Takeaway in 2017 and hosting visits from the likes of Mary Berry and Albert Roux. Kirsty says: "Many tonnes of seafood are caught in our Scottish seas and then transported straight out of Ullapool. We wanted to play a part in keeping some of our seafood local and so the Seafood Shack was born. What we really love now is being behind the hatches, cooking away and chatting to our customers as they devour a haddock wrap or peel open some fresh buttery langoustines. The book tells this story and shares our approach. What makes the Shack so wonderful to us is its relaxed feel and we don't have to be stuck in a kitchen behind closed doors, we can be involved in every aspect. The food we cook is simple, quick but most importantly fresh and delicious." Punctuated by the voices of local fishermen, the book celebrates the fishing industry that has been the beating heart of Ullapool's village life for 230 years. With both Fenella and Kirsty's partners actively involved in fishing, The Seafood Shack also reflects the debate around sustainable fishing. Fenella says: "The people behind our seafood are a huge part of our story: from Josh's langoustines and lobsters, Gary's hand-dived scallops and Stephen's white fish to the team at our local smokehouse or Joe our oyster producer. These amazing people have been a massive part of our success: at the end of the day we're not amazing chefs, we're just two girls who love to cook and having such fantastic and fresh produce is what makes the Shack work." The Seafood Shack provides over 80 down to earth recipes and tips for cooking white fish, smoked fish and shellfish. Kirsty and Fenella's work on the book was recognised when they were announced as winners of the Jane Grigson Trust Award for New Writers earlier this year.

Chef Mikkel Karstad takes us on a fishing trip around the lakes, rivers and coastline of his native Denmark, catching and cooking fish and shellfish from sustainable species only. Each is given its own chapter, from plaice and skate to razor clams, langoustine and crab, with clear examples as to why zander fillet is an ethical and even more delicious alternative to the diminishing stocks of its sister fish, perch.

Photography by Anders Schonnemann, shot on the beach, at sea and in the kitchen, beautifully complements Karstad's open-air lifestyle.
Go ahead. Feel smug. With Star Fish in your hands, there will no longer be anything fishy about the seafood meals you produce. In fact, the lip-smackingly good recipes in this book use only the top ten most sustainable fish off the SASSI (SA Sustainable Seafood Initiative) green list. In this surprisingly funny, surprisingly fascinating read, author Daisy Jones takes you on an epic road trip to meet the farmers, conservationists, fishermen and scientists who will protect the top ten in the years to come. You’ll visit a vloeking oyster farmer in a wasteland on the West Coast and a high-heeled SASSI scientist. You’ll meet an abundantly bearded kabeljou farmer in Paternoster, a third-generation treknetter in Fish Hoek and an Irish-accented aquaculturist in East London. Daisy has conducted hours of interviews on boats, rafts and on farms to find out why her top ten are not in danger of overfishing and why catching them does no damage to the environment. The chapters on each fish, and the paintings and illustrations that accompany them, will secure the top ten in your memory - a phenomenon sure to come in handy when you shop or dine out sans SASSI checklist. The recipes at the end of each chapter, gorgeously photographed by Craig Fraser, tempt those of us in the habit of opting for white linefish and prawns to try something meatier (yellowtail), oilier (sardines) or slurpier (mussels). A chart at the end of the book provides green alternatives to orange- and red-listed fish - both local and overseas varieties. There’s a word on SASSI, a word on the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) and a word on the state of our oceans. It’s an adventure, switching to green fish. And it’s the right thing to do.
