Guest guest Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Many vegetarian cookbooks still contain recipes for cooking fish. I've heard this same thing for years.

There is a pescatarian recipe group now on and I will post the link. gourmet-pescatarian-vegetarian-delights/ --- jerry_symonds <jerry.symonds wrote: > Hi there, > > I apologise if this topic has come up on site > before, but I'm a " new > kid on the block " !
