The Catch: Sea-to-Table Recipes, Stories & Secrets
Ben Sargent shares his love of the open waters with adventure stories and simple seafood recipes that will entice you with their fresh flavors.
An avid fisherman, home cook, and veteran surfer, Ben has been mesmerized by fishing since childhood. He catches almost everything he eats, but even if you don’t, The Catch is the perfect book for cooking simple, delicious fish and shellfish.
These 100 recipes will teach you how to stuff, grill, sauté, fry, roast, smoke, bake, and fillet to perfection, from classic preparations for salmon, shrimp, and clams to chowders using snakehead and blackfish.
Showcasing Ben’s signature lobster rolls (for which people journey many oceans), The Catch also features recipes such as Catfish Sandwich with Dill Rémoulade & Sliced Jalapeños (a recipe Ben made from his first catch); Mahi Ceviche with Grapefruit, Toasted Coconut & Roasted Peanuts (inspired by the flavors of Central America); Striped Bass Chowder with Broccoli Rabe Pesto (which makes enough to share with friends); Oyster Pan Roast with Garlic Butter Toasts (the perfect dish for two); and Flounder in Grape Leaves (grilled whole over an open fire).
With stunning photos from the bountiful waters of Brooklyn to the Caribbean coast, The Catch is Ben’s take on sustainable seafood and will become your go-to resource when you want to savor fish and seafood in your home kitchen.

I wanted to like this book but felt there were so many chowder recipes and not a lot of appetizer recipes, I would have liked some more unique ideas. I did like that he explores many varieties of fish and seafood. And if you know a fisherman they might like this book for a gift. Also I really liked the sea urchin recipes.

A nicely designed cookbook, broken down by type of seafood and fish. Includes memories about fishing and recipes. Cookbooks work best when they are personalized in this manner making for interesting reading and recipes.
