Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The definitive guide to fish, fishing and fish cooking from the "River Cottage" team. This beautifully produced book is divided into 3 parts: the first offers a comprehensive overview of British fish, their habitats and the issues of fish farming and sustainability; the second covers all the many and varied ways of preparing, preserving and cooking fish with lots of classic recipes and the final section covers the best fish by species, with notes on seasonality and ecology, and alternative choices for the recipes. Hugh will be back on Channel 4 with a new series in the autumn in which he takes on Tescos; this would be a perfect gift for any adventurous cook.
