“It was inevitable that one day John McConkey would write a book about two of his great loves… fishing and cooking.  Now aged 30, he has been fishing since the age of eight and cooking seriously since only a couple of years after that.  But he first took to the skillet professionally when he joined the Navy in 1956 – naturally enough as a cook.  A tireless experimenter and brilliant innovator, he has produced that rarest of cook books… an original list of recipes based almost entirely on the fish that are caught around the coast of Australia, and in its inland streams.”
