Pacific Northwest cooks and boaters, rejoice

This cookbook should be on the shelf of every good cook on the Northwest coast, and not just those who are in boats. It focuses on locally available ingredients (shellfish, fish, berries, sea asparagus) and ease of preparation. The ingredients are ones you'll be likely to have on hand, and there are excellent photographs of the various shellfish, fish, berries and plants which can be found in the wild. Nearly every recipe is accompanied by a beautiful photograph of the prepared dish. All the dishes can be prepared in a ship's galley (extremely small kitchen). There are sections about provisioning, gathering shellfish, storage of salmon, using a diesel stove, and even how to cook salmon the traditional Indian way -- in a cedar frame over a beach fire. I've tried a number of the recipes and they are delicious!
