Although the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest has been influenced by indigenous people, Scandinavians, Germans, South Americans, Asians and more, there nonetheless is a distinct identity to the food. Dig, Shuck, Shake is made of author John Nelson’s stories. He grew up on the beach and learned practical methods for preparing and cooking a variety of sea animals for food. Thus what nominally could have been a mere cookbook becomes a screenshot of small town Pacific Northwest fishing culture as well.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
