A Fishable Feast: Fly Fishing and Eating Your Way Around the World
From crystal-chalk streams to saltwater flats, untamed jungles, and cascading mountain streams, this collection literally offers up the “tastes” of the most epic fly-fishing adventures in the world. Fly fishing is ultimately less about catching fish and more about the experience—uniquely beautiful places and the people you meet along the way. A hugely important part of destination fishing is the post-angling gathering—often centered around local dishes. The food is what distinguishes these special places, and food is the medium through which fond memories are brought back to life. Each of the twenty destinations in this book features stunning original photos and a unique story about a fishing adventure. And each chapter is capped off with a few recipes—ranging from appetizers to main courses, drinks, and desserts—that exude the flavors of these special places, including fresh salmon and wild mushroom tarts from Normandy, France; baked halibut with wild berry glaze from Alaska; fish tacos and shrimp guacamole from Baja California, Mexico; and much more. Whether a world-traveling angler, someone dreaming of taking a first trip, or an armchair angler or traveler, all will appreciate the complete joy of fly fishing portrayed in these pages. Color; 10x8 inches, 384 pgs.
Review
“ In A Fishable Feast, Deeter and Supinski have taken a really cool concept—combining fly fishing and eating adventures from around the world—and absolutely nailed it. The spirits of Lefty and Bourdain hover over this book, nodding in approval.”
— MONTE BURKE, author of Rivers Always Reach the Sea, Lords of the Fly, and Saban
“ A masterwork for the traveling angler and the discerning epicurean, this book by Kirk and Matthew beautifully merges two passions. They celebrate the undeniable truth that while fishing may lead the way, it’s the culture, cuisine, and journey that make an adventure unforgettable. Bravo!”
— CHRISTOPHER ELBOW, renowned chef and chocolatier (Christopher Elbow Chocolates)
“ The writing in this most uniquely exquisite coffee-table book is of truly authentic experiences in the expansive world of fly fishing, and the chef-inspired recipes have been originated and tested by fly fishers who share a love of well-tied flies and well-presented meals.”
—GARY BORGER, leading angling educator and coauthor of the Fly Fishing book series
“ In the words of legendary fly fisherman Lee Wulff, spoken while dining on his porch overlooking the beautiful Beaverkill River, ‘The four greatest things in life begin with f: food, fly fishing, flying, . . .’ and you can use your imagination for the last one. Come join Matt and Kirk on their adventures around the world.”
—JACK DENNIS, legendary guide, fly innovator, and author of the Western Trout Fly Tying Manual
