Thanks for the reminder! I still need to read Cod.
one of my favorites is “Song of the Blue Ocean” by Carl Safina
Linda Greenlaw’s books are pretty fantastic, too (The Hungry Ocean and The Lobster Chronicles are the ones I’ve read)… I guess they’re less about fish than they are about fishing, but still. Also Trevor Corson’s The Secret Life of Lobsters, though obviously not about fish, is some of the best marine life nonfiction out there.
I’ve really enjoyed perusing your archives this morning; keep up the great posting!
