Description: Writer and lifelong fisherman Greenberg investigates the forces that get salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna to dinner tables. Today, rampant overfishing and an unprecedented biotech revolution have brought man to a point where wild and farmed fish occupy equal parts of a complex marketplace.

Review Quotes: "'The passion to save bluefin is as strong as the one to kill them, ' Greenberg writes, 'and these dual passions are often contained within the body of a single fisherman.' Four Fish is a marvelous exploration of that contradiction, one that is reflected in the stance and behavior of all nations that fish. It is a necessary book for anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat, and how, and why." --The New York Times Book Review
