Özet

A fascinating account of a seemingly simple fish by the author of Salt: A World History.

The cod has played a vital part in livelihoods, diets, and health in general—as well as roles in national economies and international wars. Drawing on his love of food and food culture, Mark Kurlansky—bestselling author of Salt and 1968 leaps into history and folklore to explore how this simple fish had such an impact over the centuries. Kurlansky recounts how the cod spurred interest in the development of North America and caused a whole nation of people to jump into fishing and ocean exploration. In addition to providing word origins, this audiobook contains uses for all kinds of cod and recipes dating from the fourteenth century.

I found the first few chapters incredibly tedious but as the book progressed towards the modern day, I became much more interested.
If you have even the slightest interest in the common fisheries policy, sustainability of fishing, fish farming etc, you will probably get something from this book.
Personally, it has given me a shove back towards veganism.

Thought provoking
