Ray's Boathouse: Seafood Secrets of the Pacific Northwest
Ray's Boathouse is a Seattle legend and one of the best cold-water seafood restaurants in the world. Set on Puget Sound, Ray's Boathouse became one of the best by dedication to the highest quality and passion for food. Now, Executive Chef Charles Ramseyer and staff bring you a collection of recipes that have been perfected over decades.
These recipes were tested and adapted with easy-to-follow instructions for home cooks. Select from shellfish dishes such as Pan-Seared Alaskan Sea Scallops, and Classic Clam Linguine. Feast on wild salmon in meals such as Teriyaki Coho Salmon, and Pan-Roasted Copper River Sockeye Salmon. Find delectable desserts, just like those served at Ray's, including Yakima Peach and Blackberry Crisp, and Almond Biscuit Shortcake with Berries.
Original recipes combined with the history of Ray's Boathouse make this cookbook a delight for any seafood lover.

My Favorite Cookbook
This is a great cookbook for seafood lovers. Ray's Boathouse is one of my favorite restaurants. I could not have been more excited to learn they had a cookbook out.
The book features tempting recipe after tempting recipe. The photography is stunning and serves its mouth-watering intentions. The recipes are easy to follow and the cookbook provides instructions for every accroutrement unlike a "competitor" that features a lot of store bought items as ingredients. The cookbook also features a glossary for those rare and less common ingredients such as Sambal Oelek and Pea Vines, both of which I have now discovered through Ray's Boathouse Seafood Secrets of the Pacific Northwest, and both of which are now favorite consumables of mine.
I wouldn't know where to begin listing all my favorite recipes, but some real standouts include:
* The Crab Cakes. My search for the quintessential crab cake recipe is now over.
* The smoked anything. 'Nuff said.
* The Cioppinno. My mom never liked mussles until she had them in this dish.
* The Calamari. The texture comes out just perfect.
* The Salmon with the Blackberry-wine reduction over pea vines. This is *the* salmon-for-entertaining recipe.
Anyone who enjoys seafood in the Pacific Northwestern style can't go wrong adding this cookbook to his or her library. Those who haven't discovered Pacific Northwestern Seafood cooking methods will find this book a great introduction to the topic.
