Trade Review"Fishing Lessons uses diverse, unique examples of small fisheries from all over the world to illustrate the challenges artisanal fishermen face in the current fishery management regime and global seafood market. Bailey's well-told, relatable stories of visits and dialogues with individual fishermen, of cooking and eating seafood, as well as his thorough descriptions of historical context really help readers to place a social value on the profession itself. Filled with lots of new information about seafood and how it is produced, Fishing Lessons will appeal to foodies and fans of Deadliest Catch as well as to folks interested in the sustainability of food, food security, locally sourced foods, the traceability of food, and organic foods--and in the natural history of the oceans."--Jon Warrenchuk, senior scientist and campaign manager, Oceana
