Alan Davidson's Seafood Trilogy
Completely indispensable. For seriously whacked-out food geeks only.
Line diagrams (!) not pictures. All good academics understand why, of course.
Many moons ago, the CC knew a wonderful line artist who was fought over by both the Paleontology and Egyptology Departments(!) She could go places in Egypt that few others were allowed to. Eat your heart out, Indiana Jones!
The CC bonded with her on the obvious need for line art (you can "highlight" certain details and "suppress" others in a way that a photograph cannot because it gives equal importance to everything.) We bonded over the obviousness of the argument, and that it didn't matter that the world refuses its obviousness as long as she gets paid a lot, and tons of ice-cold Polish vodka.
But back to the trilogy. Completely indispensable guide. Everything you ever wanted to know about edible seafood.
