Every Last Fish: In Conversation with Rose George

Dive into the hidden world of fish and fishing.

Join us for an evening In Conversation with acclaimed author and journalist Rose George as she discusses her eye-opening new book, Every Last Fish: what fish do for us and what we do to them.

Fish are cold-blooded, slippery, and strange—easy to see as food, harder to imagine as fellow creatures. But what stories lie behind the fillet on your plate? With her trademark curiosity and clarity, George lifts the lid on the global fishing industry, from the massive legal trade that feeds our love of fish fingers and salmon sandwiches, to the shadowy, dangerous world of illegal fishing that thrives out of sight.

Along the way, she introduces us to the men who work the seas, the women who sustain fishing communities, and the incredible journeys that carry fish from ocean depths to dinner plates. From Alaska to Senegal, Scotland to Norway, and far below the waves to the ocean floor, George transforms the way we think about the most mysterious creatures we eat.

Prepare to see fish—and the people bound up in their story—in an entirely new light.
