Christopher Lane's tone is relaxed and informative as he delivers the sobering facts that 91% of the seafood eaten by Americans is imported at the same time that American seafood exports are growing by leaps and bounds. American fishing has become tragically disconnected from the American fish eater, and author Paul Greenberg focuses on the New York oyster, Gulf Coast shrimp, and Alaska's wild salmon to make his case. Why do we export the incredibly nutritious Alaskan sockeye and eat much less healthy farmed salmon from Asia instead? Lane successfully incorporates Greenberg's careful optimism that we are learning the importance of maintaining salt marshes, looking for local marketing options, and questioning the "jobs" argument for an enormous copper mine that would destroy the salmon runs. It's an entertaining performance of an absorbing argument. A.B. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2014]
