The primary author of this seafood book, Allen Ricca, is a seafood distributor, so he knows what he’s writing about. This informative book is an exposé of the seafood industry.
It pulls no punches. here are six takeaways from it:
- “Fresh” has varying meanings and can’t be trusted.
- Avoid seafood that is breaded or sauced.
- Avoid seafood chain restaurants like Red Lobster and Long John Silver’s.
- The seafood industry is corrupt on every level from fisherman to distributor to wholesaler to retailer to restaurant.
- Frozen seafood is okay and most of the seafood you buy has been frozen at some point in the supply chain.
- There is no index in the book, dropping my overall rating from a B+ to a B.
However, the book is highly recommended for seafood lovers. You can pick up your own copy here.
