In 2005, the United States imported five billion pounds of
seafood, nearly double what we imported 20 years earlier. But during
that same period, our seafood exports also went up dramatically. Paul Greenberg
investigates the unraveling of the nation’s seafood supply and tells
the surprising story of why Americans stopped eating seafood caught in
our own waters. American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood
examines New York oysters, Gulf shrimp, and Alaskan salmon to reveal
how it came to be that 91 percent of the seafood Americans eat is
foreign.
