Bottomfeeder : how to eat ethically in a world of vanishing seafood

In his quest for the perfect seafood dish, Grescoe nets some shocking discoveries about the fish we eat, where they come from, and the often slimy inner workings of the multi-billion dollar industry that depends on them. He takes us from the familiar - a visit to Red Lobster where he chows down on shrimp laced with chemicals, imported as local Gulf shrimp trawlers sat idle - to the foreign - Kochi, India, where Grescoe discovers how the curry-simmered fish and prawns he is enjoying have actually contributed to unprecedented ecological and social devastation, including playing a role in the 2005 tsunami disaster.
