Description

“A marvelous, compelling tale”(Rocky Mountain News) from the New York Times bestselling creator of Salt and Cod.

Gloucester, Massachusetts, The united states’s oldest fishing port, is defined by the culture of commercial fishing. But the specter of over-fishing, combined with climate change and pollution, is endangering an approach to life, not only in Gloucester but in coastal cities in all places the world. And yet, in step with Kurlansky, it doesn’t need to be this way. Engagingly written and filled with wealthy history, delicious anecdotes, colorful characters, and local recipes, The Last Fish Tale is Kurlansky’s most urgent story, “an engrossing multi-layered portrait of a fishing community that may be read for pure pleasure in addition to being a campaigning plea for the environment” (Financial Times).
