Praise for the fisherman’s kitchen
“Orsi has given me many new ideas on what to do with all the fresh New England seafood that’s available right at our fingertips. My husband and I also quahog and now we’re opening up this cookbook to figure out what to do with our fresh catch. The book will have you running to the ocean with your fishing rod, or at least to the local market for some fresh fish.”
─Jamie Coelho, Editor, Rhode Island Monthly
“Leo Orsi knows that whether making a meal at a fishing lodge, cooking the day’s catch, or dining out at a coastal restaurant, food just tastes better after a day on the water. His eclectic collection of coastal recipes is laced with special memories of time spent with friends and family in iconic locations—what good cooking and good food is all about.”
─Kevin Blinkoff, Editor, On The Water Magazine
