Connecticut residents Melinda and Jeff Fager celebrate the island of Chappaquiddick with their new book of recipes.
Morgan Dancy,


For the past 30 years, the island of Chappaquiddick has been a vacation spot and lifestyle choice for Melinda and Jeff Fager. In an ode to a simpler life, nourished by the sea, sun and local food, Living Off the Sea contains lyrical vignettes, island histories, and the couple’s favorite recipes from chipotle bonito and grilled bluefish fillets to wild blueberry pie. When not on the island, the Fagers reside in Connecticut. $24.95, available at Design Solutions, New Canaan, 203-966-3116, dsnewcanaan.com, melindafager.com.
