Book Description
Excerpt from Fish and Shellfish of the Middle Atlantic Coast Atlantic fisheries are carried on by individual fishermen or by small associations of fishermen. In this respect they contrast sharply with the fisheries of New England and the Pacific Coast, where the typical operating unit is a large company, with financial stability and large re sources of material and equipment. The only important exceptions to the lack of organization in the Mid dle Atlantic area are the menhaden fishery, dominated by several large companies owning chains of fac tories and many boats, and the oyster industry of Long Island Sound and sections of New Jersey and Virginia. The pound net fish eries, as a rule, are carried on by fishermen organized into groups of some 8126. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Food From the Sea: Fish and Shellfish of New England Millions of Americans are developing new wartime food habits trying foods they once neglected, turning to alternates for long familiar products. For every one of the ten fish or shellfish that make up more than four/fifths of New England's catch there are seven species little known or utilized, many of which could pro vide tasty and nutritious foods. Turning to these under/utilized species will conserve food resources by lifting the burden of over' exploitation from such fishes as cod and haddock and will augment dwindling supplies of protein foods. Exploring the seafood markets for unfamiliar species rewards the housewife and her family with delightful taste surprises, for scarcely any other class of food offers so great a variety, so rich an Opportunity for mealtime adventures.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fishes Taken During Shrimp Trawling Along the South an Atlantic Coast of the United States, 1931-35 Fish of numerous families and species are taken with shrimp on the shrimping grounds. Records of the fish taken during a study of the white shrimp by the u.s. Bureau of Fisheries, are provided. These records cover the coast from Cape Romain, s.c., to Cape Kennedy, Fla., and are organized under four basic areas: South Carolina Outside, Georgia Outside, Georgia Inside, and Florida Outside. The entire region is treated also as a unit. Yearly and monthly average numbers of fish taken per hour of trawling and percentages of the catch are provided for all species for the region and for the several basic areas. Seasonal variation in the numbers of fish on the shrimp fishing grounds is large; numbers are lowest during the late winter and spring, build up rapidly in the summer and early fall, and are highest in the late fall and early winter. The croaker family (sciaenidae) was the most abundant and important found on the shrimp fishing grounds. Croakers were captured in greater numbers than all other families of fish combined in every month of the year. Four families of fish-the Sciaenidae (croakers), Carangidae (jacks), Ariidae (sea catfish), and Bothidae (flounders)-were taken in greatest numbers per hour of trawling and together contributed almost 87 percent of the yearly average catch in the region.

Book Description
“A valuable compendium no matter where you live, Texas Seafood encourages you to explore uncommon varieties from your local fishmonger.” —The Wall Street Journal The abundance of seafood available from the northwest Gulf of Mexico includes hundreds of delicious species that are often overlooked by consumers. Celebrating this regional bounty, Texas Seafood showcases the expertise of longtime fishmongers and chefs PJ and “Apple Srimart” Stoops. Readers will find familiar fish like Red Snapper along with dozens of little-known finfish and invertebrates, including tunas, mackerels, rays, and skates, as well as bivalves, shrimps, crabs, and other varieties, many of which are considered “bycatch” (seafood that a fisher didn’t intend to catch), but are no more difficult to prepare and just as delicious as those commonly found at your local supermarket. The Stoopses provide a complete primer on sourcing these wild-caught delicacies, with fascinating details about habitats and life cycles as well as practical advice on how to discern quality. Texas Seafood concludes with simple, delectable recipes, many infused with the flavors of Apple’s Thai heritage. Dishes such as Steamed Curried Crab, Crispy White Shrimp, Escolar on a Grill with Green Mango Salad, Cast-Iron-Roasted Shortfin Mako Shark with Rio Grande Grapefruit, and Chicken-Fried Ribbonfish are just a few ways to savor the best of the Gulf. “By documenting in such detail what’s below the surface in our Texas waters, [Texas Seafood] reveals a treasure. Not just for a local market but beyond: the national and even global market.” —Edible Houston “An important addition to every local foodie’s culinary library.” —Edible San Antonio
