Reviving Our Coastal Bounty: A New Book Review of the Great British Seafood Revival.
Posted by Lydia Unwin on
Great British Seafood Revival is a timely and inspiring work that blends cookery, travel writing and social history into one cohesive whole. It captures a moment when the British fishing industry stands at a crossroads, facing economic pressures and environmental challenges yet offering enormous potential for renewal.
Through CJ’s heartfelt prose and Steve Lee’s evocative photography, the book makes a persuasive case for eating more of what our own waters provide. It invites readers to explore beyond the familiar fillets, to meet the people behind the nets and to rediscover the flavours that have shaped our island identity.
This is not just a cookbook; it is an act of celebration and advocacy. It reminds us that to eat British seafood is to participate in a living tradition, one that connects coast to kitchen and past to future.
