River Cottage Handbook No.5 Edible Seashore by John Wright ISBN 978 0 74759531 1; today price £14.99 waterstone's are knocking £4.00 of at the moment . I just had a quick look through it and it looks to be a good read with a lot of information on what,when and how to cook as well as how to forage for it on the seashore.
It covers flowering plants,seaweeds,mollusc sand crustaceans each item has sub headings
of habitat ,distribution ,season and conservation status and then a section on how to eat it.In the back of the book there is a recipe section all the photos in book are in colour.
Another one in the series that looks interesting is the River Cottage Mushroom Handbook by the same author and the same lay out .
