Four Fish, the Book

I read Four Fish by Paul Greenberg this week and I learned a lot about sustainability of seafood as well as its costs in money and long term effects. The subtitle is "The Future of the Last Wild Food." He concentrates on salmon, cod, sea bass and tuna but covers others as well, whether raised in the wild or farmed. He tells the pluses and minuses of each. He explains how the international agreements work or don't.

I was surprised at how readable the book was. He writes in an entertaining style full of little stories and anecdotes that make it pleasant to read. He's quite the story teller and I promise you if you read it, you'll never eat another fish without thinking about some of the things he wrote. Don't worry; it's not a scare you type of book. You'll still eat fish but you might choose which ones a little differently. He'll also tell you that that doesn't matter and why it doesn't.

Highly recommended. Thanks, Paul.
