There are no rules when it comes to cooking fish according to James Beard award winning chef Josh Niland, only an endless world of possibilities.

Josh's multi award-winning and bestselling book, The Whole Fish Cookbook, revealed the blueprint for a new and unprecedented kind of fish cookery. In this latest book, Josh continues to open our eyes to the potential of fish in the kitchen, starting from the moment we take our fish home and unpack it - yes that's right: bring it home, take it out of the plastic, let it breathe uncovered in your fridge. Then you are ready. With flair, colour and bucket loads of flavour, Take One Fish unpacks each of Josh's 15 fish to reveal their true culinary potential, from swordfish cotoletta to pot au feu, to tuna mapo tofu to an ethereal raw flounder.

Celebrate the drips, crunchy bits, burnt edges and imperfections that are so central to Josh's mission - to get more people having fun with fish ingenuity every day.

In The Whole Fish Cookbook, groundbreaking seafood chef Josh Niland reveals a completely new way to think about all aspects of fish cookery. From sourcing and butchering to dry ageing and curing, it challenges everything we thought we knew about the subject and invites readers to see fish for what it really is - an amazing, complex source of protein that can and should be treated with exactly the same nose-to-tail reverence as meat.

It features more than 60 recipes for dozens of fish species ranging from Smoked Marlin Ham Caesar Salad, Fish Cassoulet and Roast Fish Bone Marrow to - essentially - The Perfect Fish and Chips. Many of us would like to eat more fish but worry about the environmental impact and often end up cooking the same old salmon fillet on repeat. The Whole Fish Cookbook will soon have you embracing new types and will change the way you buy, cook and eat fish.

There is so much more to a fish than just the fillet, and it is indeed true what they say about there being more than just a handful of fish in the sea.
