FISH AND SEAFOOD FOR LOVE(Aphrodisiac Foods: Eat Your Way to Ecstasy) The ancient world believed seafood had aphrodisiac characteristics because, the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, sprang from the foam of the sea on an oyster shell (hence Botticelli’s much reproduced painting of the goddess floating on a seashell). The Romans named her Venus. The sea is one of the major sources of life and Seafood has been seen as the food of love for many centuries. A claim that is not surprising considering it is brimming with minerals such as calcium, zinc, iodine and iron. In this delightful book of aphrodisiac foods, the author looks at the most popular fishy aphrodisiacs as well as providing some excellent recipes to enjoy them.
