Jane Grigson is one of my food heroes. It was Delia Smith who convinced me that I could actually put reasonable food on the table, but it was Elizabeth David, Jane Grigson and her successor as Food Editor of the Observer Magazine, Nigel Slater, who taught me how to cook. Just before Christmas I had a splurge at Amazon and one of the real gems that I picked up was Jane Grigson's Fish Book. It's part of a series of weighty, scholarly books which includes her Fruit Book and Vegetable Book.

If you are looking for a book to give you a basic grounding in fish cookery then Delia Smith's [[How to Cook - Book 2]] could be a good buy. If you really would like to read Jane Grigson on fish I'd recommend her [[English Food]] where there's a whole section devoted to fish but you'll get a lot else besides. On a similar basis you could also look at Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's [[River Cottage Cookbook]] which might even tempt you to catch your own fish. If you get the chance though do read Jane Grigson's Fish Book. It's an inspiration.
