A good book is still one of the best things to take to the coast, or to bring the coast home. These are the ones we keep recommending.
Fish by Mat Follas is the fish cookbook for building confidence: the MasterChef winner's 176-page hardback has over 80 fish and seafood dishes arranged by fish type, with step-by-step preparation photos. Cooking With Tinned Fish by Bart van Olphen is a seafood cookbook for the tins in your cupboard: 144 pages of recipes, with stories from sustainable fishers.
The Great Cornish Fish Book has 170 pages of recipes, tales and discoveries from Cornwall's coastal larder, and £1 from each sale is shared by the Fishermen's Mission and the National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow. Pair it with our guide to buying fresh fish.
Seaweed Foraging in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly by Rachel Lambert introduces sixteen edible seaweeds in a 104-page soft cover small enough for a coat pocket. Read our seaweed foraging guide before you pick.
I-Spy At The Seaside is a 64-page spotter book with points for everything children find on the beach, and A First Book of the Sea by Nicola Davies, illustrated by Emily Sutton, is a book of sea poems to read aloud. The Usborne Seashore Book answers children's questions about seashore creatures in easy-reading text, and the Usborne 1000 Pirate Sticker Book has 48 pages and 1,000 stickers for a wet afternoon. For a sing-along, the sea shanty lyrics PDF is a digital download, not a printed book, with the words to 64 Cornish songs and shanties. More for little ones is in beach and shore essentials.
