Introducing The Whole Fish Collection—a stunning, limited-run set that unites all three of Josh Niland’s trailblazing and award-winning cookbooks in one beautifully crafted package.

This exclusive bind-up includes The Whole Fish Cookbook, The Fish Butchery, and Take One Fish, all housed in a luxurious slipcase designed to elevate Josh’s revolutionary approach to seafood into an art form. A must-have for the true fan, this collection also features a series of exclusive, never-before-seen additions that will make it irresistible to serious home chefs and collectors alike.

  • Three Books in One Elegant Slipcase: This exclusive set includes Josh’s full culinary works, beautifully presented in a custom-designed slipcase. It’s the perfect way to showcase Josh’s exceptional techniques and philosophies about working with fish—from simple preparations to advanced butchery skills.
  • Limited Edition Signed Print: Included in the collection is a digitally signed print of the breakdown of the John Dory from The Whole Fish Cookbook.
  • Special Edition Cover for The Whole Fish Cookbook: The Whole Fish Cookbook features a brand new cover design with a rainbow metallic foil print, replacing the iconic black fish with an eye-catching 3D effect that brings the cover to life. This design has already made waves in the fashion world, having been featured on t-shirts as part of the Comme des Garçons Watanabe cookbook collection. It also made an appearance on the shelves of Carmy, the protagonist of the cult-hit TV series The Bear, further cementing its status as an iconic culinary image. This new design takes that legacy even further, making it a show-stopping piece on any shelf.
  • Exclusive and Limited: Only 3000 sets will be produced, including the digitally signed print and exclusive Whole Fish cover design, making The Whole Fish Collection a highly exclusive item. Once sold out, this set will never be reprinted with the digitally signed print and cover like this, ensuring that it remains a rare and highly coveted collector’s piece for Josh Niland’s most dedicated fans.
