Every Last Fish: A Deep Dive Into Everything They Do for Us and We Do to Them (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780393881479)

Slippery, wet and strange: Fish can be hard to think of as fellow animals and easier to consider as food. But what do we know of these creatures on our plates--and how they got there?

In Every Last Fish, Rose George takes us inside the vast legal industries that support our appetite for fish sticks and salmon burgers, and the equally colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous. From Alaska to Senegal, from Scotland and Norway to Massachusetts, and from the nets on the surface to the murky depths of the seabed, this book will transform the way you look at fish and change your understanding of what lies behind the inscrutable eye that looks back at you.
