07.09: American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
In American Catch (Penguin Press), Paul Greenberg takes the same skills that won him acclaim in Four Fish to uncover the tragic unraveling of the nation's seafood supply. In 2005, the United States imported five billion pounds of seafood, nearly double what we imported 20 years earlier. Bizarrely, during that same period, our seafood exports quadrupled. American Catch examines New York oysters, Gulf shrimp, and Alaskan salmon to reveal how it came to be that 91 percent of the seafood Americans eat is foreign. With American Catch, Greenberg proposes a way to break the current destructive patterns of consumption and return American catch back to American eaters.
