American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood

Health. Eat American seafood. That’s the pitch from Paul Greenberg in his book titled, American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood. He focuses on oysters, shrimp and sockeye salmon, and tells of what happened in the past, what’s being done today, and what needs to be done in the future. This book is a manifesto on the need to ensure the health and integrity of our coastal ecosystems. Greenberg rails on how we export vast amounts of healthy salmon and import less healthy seafood raised abroad. Hence the message: eat American seafood. That’s the practical advice that need not come from a book, but readers interested in public health and public policy are those most likely to enjoy reading this book.
