Salmon is Mark Kurlansky’s latest entry in a long running line of hits from Cod to Salt to Milk. It is masterful as only he can seem to do covering the history of topic from its early days in prehistoric history to modern day implications with a sprinkling of recipes thrown throughout. Is a book about fish hatcheries and the evil they are doing on native/wild Salmon intriguing? It is a down right page turner that you get sucked into and find yourself cheering as they demolish a damn to return to breeding grounds. Covering the globe from impacts on both Atlantic and Pacific salmon, Kurlansky tracks the fate of this fish and how its demise can impact all levels of the food chain. The stunning research into wild levels of Salmon and the switch to wild caught salmon as a moniker since there are not enough true wild Salmon left any more to know was shocking. If you have liked his other books then this one will not disappoint and if you are new to Kurlansky I think this is a good one to get started on.
