Lucky Peach is a quarterly journal of food and writing. Each issue focuses on a single theme, and explores that theme through essays, art, photography, and recipes.

Lucky Peach #12 is all about food from littoral realms — the spaces where land meets sea. We dive for abalone and gather seaweed off the California coast; we harvest honey in the Bangladeshi Sundarabans; we go behind the scenes at a shrimp farm in Indonesia, and spend a Sunday at the cockle sheds in Leigh-on-Sea. We learn lots about edible sea beasts, from clams to hagfish to sea squirts. Anthony Bourdain takes us on a stroll down a beach town’s memory lane; Robert Sietsema samples practically all the clams on Long Island; Stuart Dybek catches himself a perfect breakfast in the Florida keys. We share recipes from Vietnam and Portugal and the Oregon coast—we aren’t shellfish. Also in this issue: a special, detachable sixteen-page Beach Reads comic book to take on your seaside jaunts, featuring comics by Jason Jägel, Tony Millionaire, and more, because it’s summertime, and the reading is easy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A glorious, improbable artifact Lucky Peach is not only something to behold, it is also something to hold, a reminder of print’s true wingspan.”
The New York Times

"A masterpiece of modern-food culture."
Time

The magazine’s tone is so casual it’s almost drunken. Its aesthetic is a graphic pulp pastiche of drawings, photo essays and kitschyou’ll discover traces of comic books, handwritten script and recipes presented in science-lab format.”
The Wall Street Journal

There’s been a sudden growth in magazines for food obsessives eager for more than just recipes. Lucky Peach is perhaps the cleverest. A nerdy, witty high-end- fan-zine, it makes smart use of Chang’s contacts, with Anthony Bourdain, Harold McGee and Mario Batali among the contributors.”
The Guardian

Fun. A little precious and snarky, but interesting reads from a celebrity chef and his friends. It's like a blog in hardcopy form: a lot of opinions, but a few good recipes and interesting travel tips.

Lucky Peach does it again! This is such a fantastic publication. I love the essays and how they illustrate how interconnected food and culture are. It's definitely worth the price; however, purchasing a subscription is a much better deal.

Seashore Review

Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

Your article "Shell Station" is worth the price of the magazine. But so are most of the articles in this edition.
It is always great to see Bourdain back. Beach Town is another great contribution to this months rendition of the bounty of the sea. (Anthony Bourdain directed my attention to Mitcham's Creole Gumbo and all that Jazz, for which I will be forever grateful).

Another great edition. Entertaining and a wonderful way to pass time during my current knee replacement surgery (blast, grrrrr, s*** and all those things). Never race motorcycles when you're young then expect to survive unblemished and functioning in a commercial kitchen when you get older.

I recommend getting the whole series of Lucky Peach and keeping up with them. You'll get hooked, just like I am.
