Between them, they carry nearly everything we eat, wear, and work with.

But what do we know of these creatures on our plates, and what do we know of how they got there?  In \u003ci\u003eEvery Last Fish\u003c\/i\u003e, Rose George takes us inside the vast legal industries that support our appetite for fish fingers and salmon sandwiches, and the equally colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous.  It introduces us to the men (and it is mostly men) who fish, the women (and it is mostly women) who process the flesh and strive to keep fishing communities afloat. It takes us from Alaska to Senegal, via Scotland, Norway, and Massachusetts, and from the nets on the surface to the murky depths of the sea bed. It will transform the way you look at fish and change your understanding of what lies behind the inscrutable eye that looks back at you.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288440717548,"sku":"9781783787920","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/251706b319eb9d82ebea3289389ff946.jpg?v=1770631758"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/rose-george.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
