Cook the Book: 'The Silver Palate Cookbook, 25th Anniversary Edition'

Since my parents are Taiwanese, we never had a copy of Better Homes and Gardens, James Beard, Joy of Cooking or anything like that lying around when I was a kid. So the first book I remember reading at night, using regularly and teaching me technqiues (like making meringue and ganache) was a copy of Anne Willan's Look and Cook Chocolate Desserts, which I'd gotten as a birthday present. Maybe it was a little telling since I now own a chocolate shop.

Lobster rolls are the best!
I like mine just about anywhere on Block Island.

My Favorite is an "oyster burger". Fried oysters with a spicy mayo. It rests on a bun with lettuce. It is similar to a Po' Boy for this region. You can find it along the Northern Oregon coastline. Especially good in Cannon Beach.

Steamed blue crabs with a load of Old Bay anywhere on the Chesapeake Bay.

Never been to the Jersey shore. But I spent several summers in New Bedford and the end of summer clam bake was the best! Fare caught that very morning and cooked on heated rocks! It fascinated me and I couldn't wait for the end of summer to stuff myself.

Y'all make those clams and lobster rolls sound so tasty! Here on the other side I go for the fresh King Salmon. It's so easy to fix all the costal restaurants do a good job. Or just go down to the docks and buy one from that days catch right off the boat and take it home. The salmon from the cold Alaskan waters is too lean for my taste--I prefer the fattier central California fish. And as for crabs, the early season Dungeness crabs are mighty hard to beat.

Clams in any form--fried, on the half-shell, in chowder, on pasta--go the distance in augmenting any oceanic experience.

Here's another vote for fried clams (especially after a day on the beach). And after that, pretty much anything cooked on the grill.

Grilled bluefish and Alaskan King Crab Legs at the Lobster House on City Island, Bronx, NY.

Linguine with shrimp and lobster in an alfredo sauce, or just about anything else on the menu, at Artie's Steak and Seafood Restaurant on City Island.

Stew Leonard's Manhattan Clam Chowder prepared at home and any fish I grill work too.

my favorite summer shore food is atlantic blue crabs! we lived on hilton head island,s.c. and would take our small boat up into the creeks, sit all day "fishing" for crabs with chicken necks on a string. once we had plenty we'd rush home to steam them with wine, beer and old bay seasoning- then the fest would begin! man it just don't get any better!!

Steamed lobster at a simple, inexpensive restaurant anywhere in the New England region, right on the shore.

Fried clams from one of the North Shore joints: Clam Box, Farnham's, Essex Seafood, Kelly's. (I like Woodman's less.)

Steamer clams and lobster boiled in seawater in a dockside shack along the Maine coast north of Portland. I won't disclose my favorite, since it's already difficult enough to park there.

The best shore food is any fish, bivalve, or crustacean that you catch yourself and have on the table a short time after.
