Whole Fish Cookbook
«With The Whole Fish Cookbook, Josh Niland has revolutionised the way we think about, and treat, fish. Nose to tail cooking, when it comes to animals, has been commonplace since humans started eating meat. So why has it taken so long for us to treat fish in the same way? In this eye-opening book, Niland teaches us not only how to cure and preserve fish, just as we do meat (think moonfish belly bacon and swordfish prosciutto), but also explains how he uses every little bit of every fish in his pioneering restaurant and fish butchery in Sydney. From the eyeballs and swim bladders (which he makes crisps out of), throats (which he deep fries), sperm sacks (which he treats like sweetbreads), blood (which he turns into blood pudding), bones (which he pulverises to enhance stocks) to all the remaining scraps (which he turns into grams). Niland has cleverly devised uses for parts that are usually thrown away without a second thought, inspiring not only chefs, but also fishing industries around the world.»

My cookbook of the year. - Yotam Ottolenghi, The Guardian
A mind-blowing masterpiece from one of the most impressive chefs of a generation. - Jamie Oliver
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 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.

«'John Lewis may have recently stopped selling fish kettles due to lack of demand, but don't let that be a deterrent. Seafood chef Josh Niland believes we should treat piscine cuisine with the same nose-to-tail reverence as meat.'»
The Herald, Scotland
«'This book has gained an underground following among cooks, professional and amateur. The idea is simple, that we should honour fish with the same care and attention that we do meat and "butcher" them accordingly. The results may well change western cooking.'»
Tim Hayward, The Financial Times
«'I have been waiting for a book like this: a primer that breaks down the elements of fish cookery. Many of us wish we ate more fish, yet we strangely don't tend to cook it much. Niland, a young Australian chef, demystifies fish, from knowing when it is fresh, to butterflying a sardine. This is a cheffy volume, featuring extraordinary creations such as black fish pudding or a coral trout tail glazed to taste like a Christmas ham. What excited me most were the simple, methodical tips on techniques such as poaching or how to get a really crisp skin on a pan-cooked fillet (weight it down slightly).'»
Bee Wilson, The Sunday Times
« I have followed Josh for such a long time and adore him and his use of every part of a fish – what a trailblazer he is … this book is for home cooks as much as chefs and I applaud it.

«'Will this become as influential as Nose to Tail Eating? The Australian chef Josh Niland takes the rule of wasting no part of the animal and applies it to fish. It's not a book for casual cooks – not all of us are ready for cod liver and parsley on toast or fish fat caramel slice – but there are recipes and techniques that will benefit fish lovers.'»
Tony Turnbull, The Times
«'This is a book anyone who cares about the future sustainability of our food sources and loves fish has to own.'
Sudi Pigott, The Spectator
