The Mystic cookbook : recipes, history, and seafaring lore
(Book)

Includes index.

"Mystic Seaport, the number one tourist destination in Connecticut is the home of all things about New England and the sea--including great seafood cooking. With more than one hundred great recipes, both historical and contemporary, simple and elaborate, for both seafood--oysters, clams, lobster, shrimp, cod, flounder, tuna, swordfish--and other dishes. Some of the recipes come from famous chefs and restaurants in the Mystic area; others were developed by the author. Vintage photos of tall ships and scenes from New England's seafaring past are interspersed with the recipes, and sidebars--on such topics as the role of fishing in Colonial America, how to prepare a classic clambake, and the lobster's peculiar culinary history--make this a perfect souvenir of Mystic Seaport."--Provided by publisher.
