Capturing life at sea through engaging photographs, compelling
stories, and authentic fisherman's recipes, this characterful
volume is a one-of-a-kind companion for all sea lovers with a sense
of adventure and appetite. Whether in the shimmering sunshine of
the Adriatic Coast or up against a two-and-a-half-meter swell in
Brittany, Captain's Dinner is a maritime journey of discovery
through the world of fishing. What does it mean to be dependent on
the vagaries of nature on a daily basis? What is it like to haul in
fishing nets in rain and galeforce 8 wind? How do freshly caught
breams, herring, etc. actually end up on deck by lunch break and on
the plate by night? In search of answers, photographer Paul Pfluger
braved the wind and weather to accompany 27 fishermen at work on
European seas, observing their daily routine over several months.
The result is a lively, intimate, and unadulterated logbook of
fishing and life at sea, combining captivating portraits of the
protagonists alongside their own commentaries on the delicate craft
and hard labour that make up a fisherman's existence today, not
least when faced with critically-diminished fish stocks and
attendant fishing quotas. The featured fishermen also share their
own favourite, previously-unpublished seafood dishes, from fried
onion herb herring to Irish surf & turf or cold smoked mullet.
With more than 50 of these delicious, simple seafood recipes,
Captain's Dinner is a must for all those who love and care about
the sea and its unique flavours.
