commercial fishing

Part memoir, part manifesto, in Eat Like a Fish (Knopf), Bren Smith – a former commercial fisherman turned restorative ocean farmer – shares a bold new vision for the future of food: seaweed. Through tales that span from his childhood in Newfoundland to his early years on the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers, from pioneering new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement, Smith introduces the world of sea-based agriculture, and advocates getting ocean vegetables onto American plates (there are thousands of edible varieties in the sea!).
