In this surprisingly funny, surprisingly fascinating read, author Daisy Jones takes you on an epic road trip to meet the farmers, conservationists, fishermen and scientists who will protect the top ten in the years to come.

A chart at the end of the book provides green alternatives to orange- and red-listed fish – both local and overseas varieties.
