"Oysters and Fish" by Thomas J. Murrey is a detailed cookbook from the late 1800s that puts seafood in the spotlight. This book shares many recipes and tips on how to cook different kinds of seafood, with a special focus on oysters and all the ways they can be used in cooking; the author wants to show everyone how great it is to add more fish to their meals, and suggest that they're both exciting and good for you. The book begins by talking about why fish is a better choice for breakfast than the old standbys, like steak; seafood is very versatile, so the author tells us. You get to learn about when to harvest oysters, how to handle them the right way, and why oysters and other shellfish are awesome for cooking; there are also interesting facts about their lives and how nutritious they are. The beginning of the book mixes useful advice with fun stories, preparing you for all recipes that celebrate the tasty flavors of seafood and how much you can do with it.
