Four Fish: Why We Eat What We Eat from the Sea
with Paul Greenberg
If you look at what Americans really eat from the sea, it's really just a handful of fish species. Four to be precise (plus a crustacean). In this 40-minute lecture, New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg will talk us through the seafood choices we've made, consciously and unconsciously, and point the way to how we could more sustainably fish and farm our oceans. This talk will appeal to all seafood lovers of all ages, especially those who love a good fish story or two.
