Superb read full of interesting facts about the fish so central to medieval and early modern history. Also an indictment of human stupidity on how this valuable resource has been fished to extinction and fishermen wish to go on fishing in a manner guaranteed to exhaust the ocean of all marine life. Farming, husbandry, is the only way forward, as was realized millions of years ago with land based agriculture.

This is a really intersting story regards to the cod fish. It is about the people involved in making a living from this creature. Not a book I would normally buy but am glad that I did as I have learnt a lot. Would highly recommend it to anyone intersted in a true story of the lives of the people and the industry that thrives on this fish.

While I am still not quite ready to eat fish for dinner anytime soon - despite great recipes - I must say that this is a truly fascinating read - author Mark Kurlasnsky does amazing research and I while I do not generally consider myself a fan of nonfiction - I hereby declare I will read everything Kurlansky writes! And furthermore, I suggest you do the same - I now know more about fishing than I ever expected to, but I am truly interested in the whole story of the fish this volume celebrates! I've learned more history and refreshed my grasp of geographywithin the pages of this little book than I have in years! I feel I could probably hold a conversation with an old salt fisherman on the merits of the quality of cod caught off of the Grand Banks! I really enjoyed this book and I am now reading Kurlansky's book "Dancing in the Streets" and next in line is his book about the Basque people! Oh and I heartily reccomend KUrlansky's book "Salt" it is astounding!
