Critic Reviews:
"Every once in a while a writer of particular skills takes a fresh, seemingly improbable idea and turns out a book of pure delight...No one who reads this charming tale will ever think the same of either the fish or the history." (David McCullough, author of John Adams) "History filtered through the gills of the fish trade." (The New York Times Book Review)
