Full disclosure: I've been to one of Kirk's fishing demos, attended a seminar on making pickled herring, and went fishing with him for night smelt (caught 15 lbs. that night, netting them in the surf).) I've gotten a ton of useful info from him, including tonight, when I used his technique for getting the skin off horseneck clam siphons (slit lengthwise, soak in warm water for 10 min.) before making clam fritters.

Terry: Loved this book. Was a fun read and very informative. Only wish illustrations were more detailed, but you can get the idea and look up more details, and the style of the drawing really fits the book.
