Why read it?
1 author picked Fish and Fish Dishes of Laos as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a reprinting of Alan Davidson's study of the fish cookery of Laos. It contains a catalogue of species, as well as a collection of recipes. This book is an invaluable companion to have in hand while you peruse the markets in Laos or the regions around it.
