GEORGE ROSE EVERY LAST FISH

A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK   Cold-blooded  slippery  wet and strange: fish can be hard to
think of as fellow animals and easier to consider as food. But what do we know of these
creatures on our plates  and what do we know of how they got there? In Every Last Fish   Rose
George takes us inside the vast legal industries that support our appetite for fish fingers and
salmon sandwiches  and the equally colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards
are unmonitored and often dangerous. It introduces us to the men (and it is mostly men) who
fish  the women (and it is mostly women) who process the flesh and strive to keep fishing
communities afloat. It takes us from Alaska to Senegal  via Scotland  Norway  and Massachusetts
and from the nets on the surface to the murky depths of the sea bed. It will transform the way
you look at fish and change your understanding of what lies behind the inscrutable eye that
looks back at you.
