Description
Eating the Ocean by Elspeth Probyn explores the complex relationships between humans and the ocean, revealing how our food choices are deeply entwined with politics, culture, and technology.
Probyn's ethnographic journey takes her to various parts of the world, where she examines the bluefin tuna market, the sustainability of fishing practices, and the production of fish meal and oil for human consumption. By investigating these topics, she sheds light on the ways in which our food politics are shaped by the interactions between humans, animals, and the environment.
This thought-provoking book encourages us to rethink our relationship with the ocean and its inhabitants, and to consider a more reflexive approach to ethics based on taste, place, and the interconnectedness of species.
