\nBOTTOMFEEDER<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

A must-read<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fish. A generic term for many species many of which are heavily threatened by overfishing practices and pollution.<\/p>\n

Whether you eat animals from the sea or not, you have to read Bottomfeeder<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/a> .<\/p>\n

Its author, Montreal-based Taras Grescoe, likes to investigate his subject thoroughly before couching his findings and thoughts down for us to read. Much to our enjoyment because his style is like no other. Much to our chagrin, because the topic at hand is rather alarming. Many chapters will leave you stunned, just like the fish caught using dynamite, a practice otherwise called blast-fishing.<\/p>\n

The Montreal Gazette described
\nBottomfeeder<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/a>as “a much-needed wake-up call and education notonly for ethically-minded seafood lovers, but chefs, waiters, fishmongers, food writers and home cooks – in short, all consumers.”<\/p>\n

If you don’t know how the fish sticks or sashimi landed in your plate, read Bottomfeeder<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/a>. If the terms ‘bottom-trawling’ and ‘long-liners’ evoke a vague idea in your mind, read Bottomfeeder<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you think $4.99 is the only price tag attached to a pound of frozen shrimps in your supermarket, think again and next time you enjoy a plate of shrimp remember the list of ingredients which will come along for the ride:<\/p>\n
