Today, 91% of our fish is imported, and so, the U.S. is flooded with six billion tons of imported seafood each year. Consumers across America eat blissfully, unaware of where their seafood is from, or the dire consequences that a demand for five species of fish sourced from distant oceans brings to our shores. FISH & MEN exposes the high cost of cheap fish, in the modern seafood economy, and so, shows the forces threatening local fishing communities, and public health, by revealing how our choices as consumers, drives the global seafood trade.

However, a new movement is underway – an opportunity to return sustainability to both fish and fishermen. Thriving on local communities, pioneering fishermen, and celebrated chefs are leading a revolutionary – a new model:, a ‘Catch of the Day’ revival based on local, seasonal, sustainable fish – introducing consumers to discover new varieties of storied seafood, and reconnecting us with those who risk their lives to harvest the bounties of the sea.
