The Pacific Northwest Seafood Cookbook

For thousands of years, the abundance of fish and shellfish in the Pacific Northwest created a seafood paradise for the Indigenous peoples hunting and gathering along the region’s pristine waterways, and, later, for the Chinese, Scandinavian, Filipino, and Japanese immigrants (along with many others) who have made this region home. Drawing on these diverse influences, the region fostered a cuisine that is as varied as its people, yet which remains specifically Northwestern. In The Pacific Northwest Seafood Cookbook (Countryman), food writer Naomi Tomky leads readers through an exploration of this cuisine.
