Unless your fishing buffs are into sushi, if they catch 'em, they gotta cook 'em. The Orvis Cookbook, by Ronni Perkins, tells them how to cook both fish and game. The subtitle of the book is "50 Complete Menus for Fish and Game," and the book lives up to its considerable reputation. A great gift for your favorite fisherman or hunter, this book teaches how to clean, pluck, hang, cook and freeze fish and game, smoke salmon, roast pheasant, quail, and venison, grill woodcock, and more, following the expert instructions of the writer, who has years of experience cooking fish and wild game.
