Ivar's Seafood Cookbook: The O-fish-al Guide to Cooking the Northwest Catch

The book is pretty, and the recipes detailed. I wasn't sure I actually found the salmon recipe that I tried when I first moved to the Pacific Northwest. I was not a fan of sea food and a friend took me to the restaurant and ordered that for me. I made a face before I took the first bite, but I was in love the minute I tasted it.I had sent a message to the head quarters inquiring what was in it when I was put on a reduced fat diet. They said "better select something else, that is marinated in oil". I can't find a recipe that does that in the book. The book would have had 5 stars if I could have found it....but I didn't.

This book was delivered in as described condition. Great shape and packaged well.

This is definitely a cookbook for Northwest Fish - and as long as you note that, its fine. I am currently in the Southeast and you can't really get most of these fish varieties out here, so I am going to read it and enjoy the book but I can't actually use many of the recipes with the fish we have available other than the basic white fish, clams, shrimp locally. The book is nice anyway though.

I just moved to the puget sound and wanted this cookbook inmediatley . I am from the northwest as I grew up in Vancouver , Canada and I love the cuisine around here . I needed a book that would give amazing recipes with local ingredients as I enjoy cooking with what is popular and in season where I live . This is a great book and even though ivar is a professional these recipes are mostly all within reach for your everyday home cook and the beginner . If your ever in Seattle go to this restaurant :)

I used to live in Washington State and love Ivar's seafood. I live in small town in Pennsylvania. They don't have any seafood restaurant like Ivar's. What I missed the most is their fish nuggets and the best tartar sauce. Now that I have Ivar's recipe, I know that I will truly enjoy tasting their food again. I bought this as a used cookbook and it looked brand new when I got it. Thanks to the seller that I bought it from. You got 10 stars from me!

ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY COOKBOOKS!!It's a good one and every one on the West Coast should have this in their library. I bought it for a friend who lives in Seattle and loves seafood.Next I'm going to buy one for ourselves.

The Ivar's Seafood Cookbook far exceeded my expectations! The pages are of a thick material that will hold up under use, and the stories and anecdotes are absolutely wonderful! Not to mention, the recipes are exactly what I was looking for when I ordered the book.This was well worth the money I spent. In the long run, the price I paid will be one of the greatest bargains ever!

Growing up in Seattle I love Ivar’s and this book has all the best from everyday to fancy. Great pictures as well.
