About the Author

A native South Carolinian, Ginny Lentz, received her biology degree from Queens University (NC) and MS from Old Dominion University (VA). A veteran biology teacher, turned seafood editor-consultant, her first cookbook Fripp Island Fare (1974) evolved into the popular Catch-of-the-Day… Southern Seafood Secrets by surprise. In the summer of 1979, she and her son, Bert Hucks, and a former student, traveled from Florida to Delaware, camping and selling the Catch-of-the-Day along the Atlantic coast. Then the books sold coast to coast. Ginny left the biology labs to do seafood cooking schools and later produced Fish Without Fuss… Seafood Simplified. She studied seafood cookery at Culinary Institute of America (NY), L’Academie de Cuisine in Maryland, Tante Marie’s in San Francisco and Johnson and Wales College of Culinary Art (Charleston, SC).

After selling 50,000 copies, the travel demands of the cookbooks and her other publications led Ginny to become a more anchored investment broker. She later moved to the Asheville in 1989 with her son, and is celebrating her 25th year as a real estate broker… and 40th anniversary of the inception of Catch-of-the-Day!

In the spring of 2014, Southern Living magazine called to say they would be featuring Catch-of-the-Day… in their August issue. Since the Catch… was out of print, her son suggested she publish an e-book.

For his encouragement, this e-edition is dedicated to Bert… and for his technical support, it is dedicated to her husband, Jack Poisson. (Yes… she married Mr. Fish!!!)

And, from their galleys to yours... always, season with JOY, the spice of life!

Editorial Reviews

This collection doesn't convey the traditional distinction of Southern seafood cookery. Rather it is an unspiring catch-all of modern consumer-oriented approaches that happen to include fish. Lentz is often heavier on the dairybutter, sour cream, cream cheesethan she is on the fish, and dishes tend toward the overcooked and indelicate. ``Seafood secrets'' scattered through the book run along the lines of ``keep all seafood cooled on ice or in the coldest part of the refrigerator,'' and there's very little other background text. Poorly organized and executed, Catch-of-the-Day is no catch. Southern seafood cuisine deserves better. December
