Lake Fish: Modern Cooking with Freshwater Fish

Wild Cookbook Review for "Lake Fish: Modern Cooking with Freshwater Fish". Several years ago, I was getting ready to fry up a batch of sunfish, and it occurred to me that the only way I ever cooked the fish I caught was by frying it. One of the first things I tried on my own was a walleye curry with tropical fried rice, that has subce become one of my favorite recipes. I am always looking for a new approach to using freshwater fish, and have been adapting a lot of ocean fish recipes to work with our local Minnesota freshwater fish. A publisher contacted me in May about trying a new cookbook called Lake Fish, Modern Cooking with Freshwater Fish. I had some smelt, pike, and smoked whitefish, so I read through the book and found a few more recipes to try. He told me he really wanted to explore as many different avenues as he could with our local fish. He also said that all of the recipes are really just guides and that if you wanted to replace the fish in a recipe with any other type of fish, you certainly could. Sunfish potstickers, sunfish and kimchi fried rice, and perch cocktail are all on my list of things to try this summer. It is hard to read through this book and not want to head out fishing, so you can try as many of these recipes as possible.
