 Rating:  - Another great Kurlansky book!Fascinating read about a fascinating subject. Kurlansky can take any eclectic subject (Cod, Salt) and make it interesting and readable. Rating:  - An incredible history, but not always a gripping readAs a chef and history buff, this book seemed like it would be right up my alley. And I will admit that many portions of the book were utterly fascinating, specifically those regarding the complete history of cod fishing and the very nature of the cod itself. However, this book is not just a history of cod. It has an agenda, admittedly a good one, to protect the cod of the northern Atlantic. I'm all for that, but I didn't read this book to be convinced of that. The entire last chapter is essentially an emotional sob story of former cod fisherman, unable to do the work of their forefathers. Kudos to Kurlansky for that, but it felt like it belonged in a newspaper op-ed page, not a historical work. Aside from that, there are also a couple chapters that were a bit tough to get through, which may not be Kurlansky's fault, but perhaps of the subject itself. It's a small book and only took a couple days to get through, but unless this is a topic that immediately strikes your fancy, you might not finish it. But for any chef or history buff, I would still recommend this book, as it offers some pretty critical insight into a fish that really did change the world. Rating: - What a surprise!Loved this book, what a journey. Fun and full of history and "I didn't know thats"...excellent read. Rating:  - CodThis book provided interesting insights into cod and the fishing industry. The different historical eras and geography of the North Atlantic were well connected throughout the book to provide a cohesive and story. There were satisfying amounts of economics and history in the book, but I would have liked some additional discussion of biology. There was not much included on the future potential for a cod stock rebound.
