As this little island rediscovers its love for fish and seafood, a newly-published cookbook will be of interest to many this Christmas. Fishwives is a collection of 77 recipes that have been shared by well-known women. They include recipes handed down through the generations, and newer, fresher ideas on cooking trout and other Irish fish.
