Young Man and the Sea: Recipes and Crispy Fish Tales from Esca
by David Pasternack

The definitive fish-cooking book, in glorious full-color, from the colorful salt-of-the-sea chef of New York City's famed restaurant Esca.

Seafood genius Dave Pasternack achieved national fame in 2000, when he served his first plate of pristine raw fish sprinkled with crunchy sea salt and fresh citrus juice, adding the word crudo-- Italian-style sushi-- to the American culinary lexicon. And here is his much anticipated first book, a celebration of the fresh flavors of the sea, Italian-style, featuring:

• A full chapter on crudo such as Albacore with Pickled Kirby Cucumbers, Nantucket Bay Scallop Crudo, and Sea Bass with Pine Nuts
• Groundbreaking pastas like Dave's brilliant invention Rigatoni with Tuna Bolognese, the definitive Linguine with Clams, and the luxurious Risotto with Lobster and Black Trumpet Mushrooms
• Gills on the grill-- Sicilian-Style Swordfish, Tuna on Plank, and Salmon with Figs, Saba, and Watercress
• Pan-fried favorites like Bluefish with Morels and Asparagus, and regal roasts like Cod with Spinach and Clementines
• The crispiest Fritto Misto, Steamers with Caper-Tarragon Aioli, and Fried Soft-Shells with Ramps

The 125 recipes are at once inventive and comforting, complexly flavored yet simply prepared. And they are accompanied by the stories of an impassioned fisherman, the tips and advice of a singularly expert authority, creating a masterpiece in the field.
