Bottomfeeder is an account of Taras Grescoe’s epicurean and ethically driven global quest for the perfect seafood dish. On his journey, Grescoe tours the world’s largest fish market with a marine biologist, takes celebrity chefs to task for putting threatened species on the menu and partakes in a few once-in-a-lifetime meals guaranteed to shock – and even kill – the palate. Much more than a screed against an often slippery fishing industry, however, Bottomfeeder is a food lover’s delight, written by an intrepid adventurer who loves to dish on what’s delicious, exciting and ethically digestible.
