Books – how to prepare shellfish

Step-by-step guides that take you slowly through the best and most effective ways to prepare shellfish.

Preparing and cooking shellfish isn’t as hard as you might think and my books have been written and designed for the absolute beginner, plus home chefs wanting to learn a new culinary skill.

It’s also used by student chefs to learn something new because both are step-by-step guides with text a pictures so you know exactly what to do and how it should look!

I currently have two books available to buy from a planned series of 9:

Prep That Fish – Crab
£10

This book takes you through an easy to follow method of preparing a crab, created by my grandad, Stanley Holbrook.

Called The Holbrook Way, this method ensures you get the most meat out in an efficient way and shows you how to have shell-free crab meals, which other methods make harder to achieve.

The book is specially designed to be easy to read, to handle as it lies flat while you are preparing the crab and to wipe clean as all the pages have been laminated.
Photographs and notes give you confidence and a sense of achievement.
