One of Alan Davidson´s (author of the Oxford Companion to Food) early books;
a reference work/cookbook and a very informative and enjoyable book (it was
Alan´s North Atlantic Seafood, a work of similar scope, that first got me
interested in food writing). Both books are divided into two sections. The
first half deals with all the edible species found in the area, with
descriptions, drawings, some history, information on cooking, and a list of
names in the various languages. The second half is divided by countries and
gives authentic seafood recipes from each country. Both books have extensive
bibliographies.

Sadly, Mediterranean Seafood is out of print but you could probably find an
used copy for around $20. Or that was the price of the last copy I came
across.
