It's been awhile since we covered any pirates or reviewed any books so I thought we'd do both at the same time.Hooked : Pirates, Poaching, and the Perfect Fish
is a newly released book on the Patagonian toothfish, its 'transformation' into "Chilean sea bass" and subsequent near extintion. The book illuminates the practically lawless world of commercial fishing, where factory boats with vast dragnets can devastate a population in just a couple of years.
