It's not good. I still miss sushi, but am blessed to be able to eat at an amazing vegan sushi place (I think the avocado tempura rolls are starting to show, though...)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304420774638468362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-31494966305025518692008-07-08T22:14:00.000-07:002008-07-08T22:14:00.000-07:00lucy - Thanks for the tip on the book.

I'm sure that title is slightly different in the U.S. <BR/><BR/>A great review.

One we need, one I've been looking for, one that can plug some of the gaping holes in the information available to us.

And the info on the ocean is invaluable. And ..... <BR/><BR/>(Thank you.)<BR/><BR/>donna - And I love going to see authors. Somehow their books are more alive as a result of hearing some portion of it actually read in their voice. I've always liked being read to. <BR/><BR/>kris - You're right about seafood not capturing our imaginations in the same way as land products. I thought about that reading this book because the fish farms were in no way different than the feed lots where we raise beef but maybe the fact that it's done in water gives an illusion that all is pristine. <BR/><BR/>I like the story of your neighbor, which is how I grew up. I don't think I bought fish until my late 20's and I don't remember knowing anyone that bought fish. If you ate it, you caught it. <BR/><BR/>Please let me know if you read the book.

Maybe as you suggest, it needs a face.<BR/><BR/>The partner of a friend of mine line caught all his fish when he lived in our town. So sometimes they ate fish and sometimes they didn't. I respected his approach, taking responsibility for his engagement with the stocks available. <BR/><BR/>I eat fish, but with the sense that it might not be the best fish, so I'll read this and hopefully have some more knowledge and more power.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346897774489967919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-59366782139992857932008-06-30T14:30:00.000-07:002008-06-30T14:30:00.000-07:00Looks like I'd better add this one to my list!

You know how to pick them. :) Thanks for a really great review. <BR/><BR/>You're really lucky to live in a place where so many authors come to visit. Too bad this guy didn't get a good crowd, but you never know but one of the seven might write a review on her blog and get everybody to read the book anyway!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896172914500564208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-2054705068546392852008-06-30T07:29:00.000-07:002008-06-30T07:29:00.000-07:00Wow.
